The Great Gingerbread Escape Experience
2025-12-11 08:00 - 2025-12-31 17:00
***The Great Gingerbread Escape Experience is coming to Center in the Square — and YOU can be part of the magic!***
This brand-new holiday tradition launches December 11–31, and there are *two* exciting ways to join in:
The storyline: Every December, the Gingerbread People come to life inside Kids Square… but this year, a gust of winter wind blew the doors open and sent them scattering across all six floors of Center in the Square! Now, these giant 4–5 ft. gingerbread friends are hiding throughout the building, waiting for families to find them.
You can enjoy the displays for FREE during regular hours, or your family can upgrade to the
“GREAT GINGERBREAD ESCAPE EXPERIENCE”
For $15 (includes up to 4 people in the same family), your family can enjoy a floor-to-floor adventure. Each entry will receive:
– A Christmas story card with clues for the adventure
– Materials to craft a little festive cheer as you make your way through the hunt. Note: Families will share the materials (there are not 4 of each in each packet).
– Tickets to vote for “Best Gingerbread Creation”
– NOTE: A downloadable app may be required.
