Welcome to Santa's village! Your family and kids will get to experience all of the Christmas magic! Santa will tell stories from his living room and  explore the magical fairy dust he uses  every Christmas! Come and see if your name is on the Nice List, and see what magical surprise Santa has for you in his bag. For the bigger kiddos, you will then make your way over to Santa's workshop to paint some toys, write letters, and tell Santa exactly what you want for Christmas.

Christmas is such a magical time for so many families that brings unforgettable smiles to all ages. I want your family to be smiling, laughing, feeling at ease with Santa throughout the entire experience. We are here to make unforgettable memories with the magical spirit of Christmas. 

Providing a truly one of a kind experience for your FAmily!
