‘Tis the Season to See Santa at the History Center!

The holidays are back—and so is jolly Old Saint Nick! Bring the whole family to the Heinz History Center to meet Santa in the Great Hall on select days this holiday season.

Capture a merry holiday photo, share your wish list, and soak up the spirit of the season as Santa listens from an exact replica of Kaufmann’s famous Santaland chair—a true Pittsburgh tradition!

With free admission for kids and exciting new exhibitions to experience, this winter is the perfect time to make memories with your family and explore the #1 History Museum in America.

Santa visits are included with regular museum admission. Kids 17 and under always receive free admission through the Kamin “Free for Kids” Initiative.
