I have good news—Mr. Grinch has finally been caught for stealing Christmas! His punishment? Time behind bars at the Texas Jailhouse in Palestine. While in lockup, the mean, green Grinch has done some reflecting on his prior misdeeds, and he’s decided to spread cheer rather than hate this holiday season in Texas. He’ll give you a personal tour of his lair, which is brimming with whimsy and Christmas magic, much like the town of Whoville. Mr. Grinch at the Texas Jailhouse has gotta be one of the most unique Christmas events in Texas.
On Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays starting in mid-November through December 23, you can visit the mean, green Mr. Grinch at the Texas Jailhouse in Palestine.
He's behind bars for stealing Christmas, but his heart has grown two sizes in the slammer. Now, he's on a mission to bring the magic of the holiday season back to Whoville—even if it means doing a little giving of his own.
You'll receive a warm welcome from the Whos of Whoville before entering the Grinch's Lair. He'll give you the grand tour of the Jailhouse, which he's called home since getting caught for his crimes.
Whimsy abounds everywhere you look; the entire jailhouse has been transformed into a replica Whoville. The walls are teeming with color, presents hang from the ceiling, and, if you're lucky, you just may spot Max getting up to his usual antics.
We all know that Mr. Grinch is known for his grumpy demeanor, but he also has a lovable side seldom seen or talked about.
As the kiddos follow along with wide-eyed amazement, you'll see just how kindhearted he's capable of being.
Whos young and old will have a blast exploring all the nooks and crannies of the lair. Christmas cheer is abundant, especially since the Grinch is joining in this time around.
Tickets are $15 each, and reservations must be made in advance. It's easy—just visit the Texas Jailhouse website, select your desired five-minute time slot, and pay.
