Museum Announces Return of Museum Merriment

Make Merry Memories this Holiday Season at MDWFP’s Mississippi Museum of Natural Science!

We are thrilled to announce the return of the Museum’s highly anticipated “Museum Merriment” events and holiday decorations, promising a season of joy, fun, and discovery for families and visitors of all ages! All events are either included or discounted for MMNSF Members!

As the autumn leaves fall and the holiday spirit begins to twinkle, make merry memories at the Museum’s special events - kicking off with “Fall, Photography, and Nature in Your Backyard” and "Let's Talk Turkey!" in November.

 “Join us for special holiday fun and create cherished moments that last a lifetime! Start by taking a guided fall nature photography hike with our educators and finish by ringing in 2024 with a 1,000 balloon drop and prizes during our ‘Almost New Year’s Eve’ party!” invites Charles Knight, Museum Director.
