Santa at the History Center

Your family is invited to meet Santa at the Heinz History Center this holiday season. Kids can visit with Santa in the Great Hall, snap a festive photo together, and share their holiday wishes. A special touch makes this visit uniquely Pittsburgh—Santa sits in an exact replica of the iconic Kaufmann's Santaland chair, a beloved local tradition that adds nostalgic charm to the experience. Best of all, Santa visits are included with regular museum admission, and children 17 and under always get in free thanks to the Kamin "Free for Kids" Initiative. While you're there, your family can also explore the museum's exhibitions and soak in the holiday spirit. It's a wonderful way to create seasonal memories while discovering what makes this one of America's top history museums.
