What to KnowNoon Year’s EveDiscovery Cube Los AngelesWednesday, Dec. 319 a.m. to 6 p.m.Balloons will drop at noon and 3 p.m.$28<\/p>\n

Some people might say that New Year’s Eve is not so much a time as a state of mind, and those some people would be correct: If you want to write down fresh resolutions and adopt a positive outlook, you don’t need to wait for the stroke of midnight on the last day of the year to do so.<\/p>\n

But there are certainly specific times and touchstones associated with the annual event, most notably 12 a.m. (or the more poetic “stroke of midnight,” if you prefer). <\/p>\n

That said, Discovery Cube Los Angeles, the educational museum in Sylmar, changes up the hands of the clock each year with something sunny, and sunlit, for families to enjoy.<\/p>\n

It’s Noon Year’s Eve<\/a>, a daytime New Year’s Eve party that has an earlier start than the traditional moon-glow bashes. Much earlier: The event is celebrated at noon on Dec. 31, and again at 3 o’clock.<\/p>\n

This gives grown-ups and little ones the upbeat opportunity to savor the year-ending, year-beginning festivity about 12 hours, or 9 hours, in advance, meaning everyone can be tucked up at home well before dark.<\/p>\n

A ticket is $28<\/a>, and there are some left, though they do go fast as Dec. 31 approaches.<\/p>\n

Apple cider is the beverage of choice, or ginger ale if you’re seeking something a bit spicy, and a DJ will be on hand to get the revelers moving.<\/p>\n

The museum will be open, too, for browsing, looking, and enjoying. Some of the science-themed exhibits including a look at Zamboni tech (paging hockey fans) and a broadcast booth giving youngsters room to try making some news.<\/p>\n

Holiday merriment is also afoot, with the Science of Gingerbread on delicious display.<\/p>\n

So can you truly and joyfully jump into the magic of New Year’s Eve several hours in advance?<\/p>\n

Absolutely: New beginnings are there to be embraced at any point, even at noon or 3 p.m. on the last day of the year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"What to KnowNoon Year’s EveDiscovery Cube Los AngelesWednesday, Dec. 319 a.m. to 6 p.m.Balloons will drop at noon…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":106933,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[2646,48,52,51,47,50,49,32893],"class_list":{"0":"post-106932","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-holidays","9":"tag-la","10":"tag-la-headlines","11":"tag-la-news","12":"tag-los-angeles","13":"tag-los-angeles-headlines","14":"tag-los-angeles-news","15":"tag-sylmar"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106932","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=106932"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/106932\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/106933"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=106932"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=106932"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=106932"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
