December is Customer Appreciation Month at the Bushplane Museum 

Sault Ste. Marie, ON – As December rolls in, the Bushplane Museum is gearing up to show our appreciation to the community with a lineup of free activities for families and seniors, and specially-priced holiday events. 

Here’s what’s happening 

Every Wednesday morning, our ‘Tiny Pilots’ program takes off, where children get hands-on with crafts and activities from 10:30 am to 11:30 am. It’s a chance for the little ones to delve into creative projects. During the month of December, this program is free. 

Sundays are for our ‘Sky Explorers’, from 1:00 pm to 2:30 pm. Kids aged 5-12 can participate in various activities that are both fun and educational, designed to ignite their curiosities about the world around them—free for the entire month of December. 

For our 55+ crowd, ‘Walk With Us’ offers a warm and sheltered stroll through our exhibits on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm. It’s an opportunity to learn, socialize, and stay active during the chilly season. Our festive activities also include holiday baking classes starting December 4th and an ornament painting class on December 13th, where our 55+ visitors can craft their own holiday decorations for free. Spaces are limited, so pre-register online at https://bushplane.com/55at-the-bushplane/ to ensure you don’t miss out. 

Grinch-mas Shop and Sip 

A perfect evening for adults to enjoy a specialty Grinch drink, take a photo with the Grinch, and watch Jim Carrey bring the character to life on screen at 6pm. Enjoy a beverage while you shop and watch out for Grinch-y surprises! Entry is free, and movie tickets are just $5. The Grinch-mas Shop and Sip happens Thursday, December 12th from 5:00 pm to 8:00 pm, during the downtown association’s Moonlight Magic event.  

Santa’s Holiday Fun Day 

Step into the holiday spirit at the Bushplane Museum’s Holiday Fun Day! Join us on Sunday, December 15th from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm. For just $5, you can watch your favorite holiday films—bring your pillows or cushions for a cozy floor setup or sit in our comfy seats. Enjoy complimentary hot chocolate, then head over to the Children’s Centre for some festive craft fun! Be sure to explore Entomica to see what critters are dressed in tiny Santa hats. Plus, don’t miss your chance to take a memorable photo with Santa himself – no charge. It’s a day of festive fun you won’t want to miss!
