Winnie-the-Pooh Day 2025

Saturday, Jan. 18, 2025 | 11 a.m. Auditorium and Lobby

Jan. 18 is National Winnie-the-Pooh Day! Celebrate and learn more about the real-life WWI bear who inspired the “tubby little cubby all stuffed with fluff” with a full-day educational extravaganza for all ages.

Nibble on cake, create some crafts and participate in other activities by partner organizations (while supplies last) from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. Join The Coterie for a family-friendly 30-minute story time performance at either 11:30 a.m. or 12:30 p.m. Return to the Auditorium at 1:30 p.m. for a screening of the 2017 film “Goodbye Christopher Robin” – rated PG with a runtime of 1 hour and 47 minutes (please note that this film depicts scenes of war and may not be suitable for young children).

Want to visit the galleries and exhibitions while you’re here? Purchase Museum admission (in addition to registering for this program) and receive a Winnie-the-Pooh-themed scavenger hunt when you check in for Winnie-the-Pooh Day.
