Even though this is his busiest (and getting to be the chilliest) time of year, we’ve learned that Santa Claus will take a brief, warmer respite from his holiday routine here in the Southwest to be the Heard Museum’s special guest at brunch — and you’re invited!

Kids of all ages (and we’re talking about the grownup ones, too) can sit down to a delicious brunch buffet, complete with gingerbread cookies to decorate and of course, a visit with the Big Guy from the North Pole with pictures you can take home!

Advanced ticket prices: $10 per adult and $5 per child; Heard Museum members pay only $5 per adult and free for children — while supplies last.
