Joy to the Borough: Sixth Annual Toy Drive and Giveaway
’Tis the season! To help spread the holiday cheer, we’re hosting our sixth annual toy drive. From November 5 through December 13, stop by the Admissions Desk in the lobby to drop off new, unwrapped toys for children ages 0–14 in the designated bins. All who donate can enjoy 20% off in the Shop as a gesture of thanks.
On Sunday, December 14, 11 am–2 pm, pick up toys along with clothing, coloring books, and other holiday gifts for children (while supplies last). During the giveaway, enjoy a festive lineup of art-making activities and seasonal fun for all ages. Afterward, any remaining toys will be donated to local family shelters.
