It’s time again for the Amazing Elf Adventure, one of Muncie Children’s Museum’s biggest events of the year! The Amazing Elf Adventure (AEA) is a holiday fun house that invites your family to participate in a scavenger hunt filled with activities and tasks to see if you have what it takes to become one of Santa’s newest elves.
