THE WOODLANDS, TX – Ring in the Chinese New Year at The Woodlands Children’s Museum.

Located at 4775 W. Panther Creek Drive, Suite 280 in The Woodlands, the museum will be transformed with traditional colors and decorations in celebration of the Year of the Monkey.

On Saturday, Jan. 30, the museum will host its grand Chinese New Year celebration from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Lion Dancers will perform, and there will be various art projects and cultural activities scheduled throughout the day.
