Hobbs’ Elf Squadron

December 20, 2025 @ 10:00 am January 3, 2026 @ 4:00 pm

Santa’s sleigh has run into trouble—and Christmas needs a new flight crew. Hobbs the Pilot Bear has been called into action, and now he’s recruiting honourary elves to join his mission. Children visiting the museum are invited to step into a story-filled adventure where aviation and imagination take flight.

Families will journey through a festive quest inspired by Hobbs’ official holiday activity guide. As recruits move through the museum, they’ll create their own elf ears, help retrieve missing aircraft parts after a frosty “splash landing,” decode a mysterious message from Air Traffic Control, and face snowy mischief-makers in the Observation Lounge. They’ll even build and safely “land” their own plane as part of the final challenge—and more! Each activity deepens the adventure, guiding families through an imaginative holiday mission that brings aviation to life.

Perfect for families looking for engaging experiences over the school break, Hobbs’ Elf Squadron adds a playful twist to the holiday season while introducing young visitors to the wonder of flight.

Elves recieve a FREE Elf Squadron sticker while supplies last.

Saturday, Dec. 20 and Sunday, Dec. 21 from 1:00–3:00 p.m. Santa and Hobbs will be available for photos! find out more about this HERE

Included with admission or membership.
