Visit the Bridge Caverns to hear the carols echoing throughout Texas’ largest underground Taverns. Visit Santa and Mrs. Claus, listen to her stories and join them in the 5000 square feet outdoor maze.

3. Arts Holiday Showcase

A free music concert on Houston Street will enthral you with the season’s joy. Mariachi, woodwinds, brass, string, and carolers offer a unique performance to display their talent and enchant the audience.

4. Meet Santa’s Mischievous Alter Ego or the Real Santa Claus

You can meet and take “alternative” photos with Krampus Claws and pass them on to friends and family with a Christmas message. Or visit the Merry Creepmas Haunted Dollhouse, celebrate the holidays with a creepy twist, and support the museum. If you prefer meeting the big guy in red, go to Pearl, let the little ones share their wish lists and make forever memories.
