Your family will get to explore art and engineering concepts while building sweet holiday memories with Thinkery’s Gingerbread Kits. Thinkery has teamed up, once again, with their friends at Lady Quackenbush’s Cakery to create a selection of yummy Gingerbread Kits you can build and decorate at home or at Thinkery.  Here are the steps:  

  1. Purchase a Gingerbread Kit for the weekend that you want to build either at home or at Thinkery
  2. If you would like to build your Gingerbread Kit in Thinkery’s Candy Wonderland (Spark Shop), reserve spots for each person in your family by purchasing a Gingerbread Workshop ticket AND reserving a general admission ticket.
  3. Pick up your Gingerbread Kit and create lifelong memories with the little ones in your life while you build and decorate together!

The Kits:
You can choose between two fun and creative kits that are perfect for all ages and abilities. Thinkery Members get 10% off.
