C.W. Parker Carousel Museum's 17th Annual Children's Small Mall

The Children's Small Mall is an opportunity for children 3 to 13 years old to do their own holiday shopping in a secure environment. Children love this event as it allows them to pick out something they think their loved ones will want without the presence of a parent and the gift comes from the heart. For the first time shoppers and parents it is important for the child and parent to know what to expect so our 'Head Elf' explains the process. Prior to entering the shopping area, a gift list is completed with ages, names and dollar amount for each gift on the list. Gifts are $3, $5 or $7. Our volunteer elves escort each child into the shopping area where gifts are arranged according to category and price. We have a wide variety of gifts for women, men, kids, teens and the sweet tooth in the family. When the shopping list is completed the selected gifts are then wrapped, labeled and ready to be placed under the tree. To complete their shopping experience each shopper receives a free ride on the 1913 carousel, (photo op) a bag if 'Magic Reindeer Food', movies and access to the Kid's Craft Corner to make awesome ornaments. While waiting for your little shoppers relax with a cup of hot chocolate and browse through the crafts, gifts and baked goods available for purchase. Also, take a chance on our sport's raffle, women's basket, and the kid's raffle.
