Holiday Fun For The Whole Family!

The Evergreen Aviation & Space Museum is celebrating the holidays with three events -- Breakfast with Santa on December 6, and Polar Express Pajama Day on December 13 and 20.

The first event, Breakfast with Santa, will take place from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. on December 6. Families are encouraged to bring canned food to donate to the Yamhill County Food Bank. Any person who brings five or more cans of food will be entered into a drawing for a family four-pack of IMAX tickets for a 2009 movie. The event begins at 8:15 a.m. with Santa’s arrival by helicopter, which will be followed by photos with Santa, breakfast and The Polar Express 3D in the IMAX Theater. Admission for the event is $15 per person, with free admission for children younger than five-years-old.

The second festive event, The Polar Express Pajama day presented by the Aerospace Book Club at the Evergreen IMAX Theater, begins at 9:30 a.m on December 13 and 20. Children will enjoy a warm cup of hot chocolate and listen to a reading of The Polar Express. Attendees will also see The Polar Express 3D in the IMAX Theater and create their own holiday airplane ornaments.

Admission for children who arrive in pajamas is $9. General admission is $11, with free admission for children younger than five-years-old.

The Polar Express: An IMAX 3D Experience is the first full-length feature ever converted into IMAX 3D. This holiday-themed film, based on the classic Caldecott medal-winning children's book written by Chris Van Allsburg, is directed by Oscar winner Robert Zemeckis and stars two-time Academy Award winner Tom Hanks. The animated film was one of the first to use CGI and performance capture technology.

The movie will show November 21 – January 4 at the Evergreen IMAX Theater. Space is limited for the Museum’s holiday events and reservations are required.
