Did you know that the REAL Santa came to Imaginarium this year? That’s right, we had four evenings of pure Christmas Magic with our favorite guy, Santa! Families were able to come in under a family ticket that covered up to 4 kids and were able to stay for an hour and play, create holiday ornaments, drink hot chocolate (or coffee/tea for the adults), shop for some sweet treats from our local vendors, and best of all SEE SANTA! This wasn’t your ordinary Santa visit either. Santa made sure to take his time with EACH and EVERY family talking to the children, reading their letters and cards (if they brought them) and then ensuring that every family left with a beautiful photo with him. Another perk to seeing Santa at Imaginarium was getting to visit him in a private setting. In many other places, when you visit Santa you wait in a line (with nothing for the kids to do!) and then you go see Santa for a quick minute (in front of everyone else waiting in line).  At Imaginarium, we allow families to see Santa in our event room, away from all the hustle and bustle of others visiting so the children can really spend

quality 1 on 1 time with Santa without the feeling that they are being rushed OR the pressure of having a whole line of strangers watch them. While families wait in line to see Santa, the children are able to go play on our wonderful wooden playground equipment or they can make their holiday ornaments in our Pirate’s Cove Craft bar.

We hosted 16 separate one hour events this year, over the course of 4 days, and over 300 families. Photos were taken and delivered to all of our guests on an online gallery with a quick turnaround of only 2-3 days following the event! We are looking forward to having Santa back next year and we have a few new things coming your way with this fun holiday event.

Thank you to all of our local (and some non-local!) families  that came out to spread some holiday cheer during this wonderful and magical event.
