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

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
