The animated figures that once adorned the H.C. Prange’s department store windows are featured in this exhibit along with the Enchanted Forest, the Snow Babies and charming forest animal collections. Bruce the Spruce, the lovable talking Christmas tree who once chatted with holiday shoppers at Prange’s, is awake at select times to talk with guests.
The Children Only Shop, a whimsical re-creation of the H.C. Prange’s holiday experience, is back for its 14th year in a row!
Children ages 4-12 are invited to purchase from an assortment of holiday gifts for $4 each and have them gift-wrapped.
Find the perfect present for everyone on your list!
Entrance to the Children Only Shop is included with museum admission.
