Santa at the History Center

The holidays are here, and Santa is returning to the Heinz History Center! Bring your family to meet Santa in the Great Hall, where he'll be sitting in an exact replica of Kaufmann's famous Santaland chair—a beloved Pittsburgh holiday tradition. Kids can snap photos with Santa and share their wish lists while taking in the festive atmosphere. Your Santa visit is included with regular museum admission, and there's great news for younger visitors: children 17 and under get in free year-round through the Kamin "Free for Kids" Initiative. This makes the perfect winter outing to enjoy the museum's exhibitions and create lasting holiday memories together. The Heinz History Center is recognized as the #1 History Museum in America, so you'll have plenty to explore beyond your Santa encounter.
