We love kids—but this event is best enjoyed by adults. Most little ones don’t get quite as excited about architecture, crown molding, or paint swatches (we’ve tried!).

If possible, treat yourself to a quiet evening and leave the kids at home. If that’s not an option, please contact us to ask about childcare availability at St. Paul UMC.

Children who attend must have their own Tour Book (Ticket) and be supervised at all times.

If you purchased online, your Tour Book is your ticket into the homes.

Pick it up at the Ticket Table in the Sanctuary of St. Paul UMC, located at:
