Christmas is just about here. One of the fun parts of the holiday season is seeing the joy in kids’ faces as they rip into their presents to find the treasures buried beneath. The ”treasures”, however, have changed tremendously over the years. To share a history of the evolution of toys, the Anchorage Museum has transformed their atrium into a Wonderland of Toys in Anchorage. From now through January 8, 2012, the exhibit will showcase toys throughout the years, with some dating back to the 1800s.
Amongst the twinkling lights in the museum’s atrium, attendees will view World War I toy soldiers, full-sized French dolls and carousel horses. Disneyland isn’t the only place showing that it’s a small world after all. The evergreen tree at the center of the Wonderland of Toys exhibit is decorated with over 100 dolls dressed in traditional costumes representing countries all around the world. You don’t want to miss this incredible display with your family.
Come celebrate a fun family tradition in the Anchorage area by visiting the Wonderland of Toys at the Anchorage Museum. The exhibit is open every Tuesday through Saturday from 10am to 6pm and Sunday from 12pm to 5pm from now until January 8, 2012. All it costs is the price of a museum ticket. For museum members, admission is always free. For non-members, adults are $12 each, seniors, students and members of the military are $9, kids ages 3-12 are $7 and kids under the age of 3 are free (donations are always appreciated). However you choose to spend your time, I want to wish you a happy holiday season!
