What’s Open or Closed on Christmas Eve & Christmas Day
Are you wondering what is open on Christmas in Ann Arbor. I’ve scoured a number of places for family fun and their holiday hours. For Christmas Eve (December 24), my general assumption is that shopping is open during the day and closing around dinner time. Many other locations may have special hours. For Christmas, my default assumption is that places are closed except for movie theaters, some restaurants, gas stations, and some 24 hour drug stores…even Meijer closes on Christmas
I found the following information on closures and special hours at the following kid-friendly locations:
