Introducing New Holiday Youth Experiences at Meadow Brook Hall

Celebrate the magic of the season at Meadow Brook Hall, where the beloved Holiday Walk tradition sparkles brighter than ever. This year, Michigan’s most enchanting holiday destination is expanding its Youth Holiday Experiences, offering families and groups two new festive programs designed especially for children: the Sugar Plum Tea and the North Pole Jamboree.

The Sugar Plum Tea is the perfect opportunity to feel fancy at the Great Estate! Children will experience a delightful tea with hot cocoa – in a real China tea cup! – and a cookie before marveling at the more than 50 decorated trees on a self-guided tour of the three main floors of the historic mansion for Holiday Walk.

Our North Pole Jamboree will be your favorite experience this season! Children will help get ready for Santa, make a seasonal craft, and even mix up some reindeer chow in our decorated education space in the historic family garage. After the activities, your group will take a self-guided tour of the three main floors of the historic mansion for Holiday Walk. Don’t miss the replica of Meadow Brook Hall crafted in gingerbread!

These experiences are perfect for scout troops, sports teams, school groups, families and friends looking to make lasting holiday memories.

All young visitors to Meadow Brook Hall during Holiday Walk can take part in Cleo’s Scavenger Hunt, inspired by the Dodge and Wilson family’s beloved Saint Bernard. Children can search for a hidden pickle ornament on decorated trees throughout the mansion, then return their completed sheets to the Holiday Market to choose a prize.

As a self-supporting National Historic Landmark, Meadow Brook Hall relies on special events like the annual holiday programs to preserve and share the estate’s rich history with future generations.
