SPARKLE: NEW YEAR'S EVE CELEBRATION
Join us on New Year’s Eve for a unique family experience to celebrate the New Year at SPARK, the Children’s Museum of Rochester! With two celebration times to choose from—morning or afternoon—there’s a perfect party for every family. SPARKLE, our New Year’s Eve celebration, will include activities for all ages of children, including a bubble dance party, games, a photo booth, the iconic ball drop, and the infamous sock-skating in Central SPARK. We encourage you to dress up in your SPARKLY best to help us ring in the new year at SPARK!
