Magical Winter Nights

Magical Winter Nights will transform the third floor of the Museum into an enchanting winter wonderland.  From a moonlit savannah in Botswana to the northern lights, guests can expect something extraordinary around every corner.

Volunteers will play a key role in creating a welcoming and memorable experience for guests by assisting with greeting, wayfinding, and answering questions.

Shifts are available seven nights a week, with start times at 3:30 p.m. or 4:30 p.m., and end at 9:00 p.m. Volunteers are asked to commit to a minimum of three shifts for this short-term volunteer position.
