Get ready for a jolly good time with Mrs. Claus and Santa when they visit The Magic House! You'll enjoy festive fun as Mrs. Claus reads her favorite winter stories, and kids participate in hands-on, holiday-themed activities, then visit with Santa himself.
Reservations are required as this is designed for a smaller audience and held before The Magic House opens to the public.
Story Time with Mrs. Claus and Santa is held Tuesdays - Fridays, Dec. 5, 6, 7, 8 and 12, 13, 14, & 15, from 9:30 a.m. to 10:30 a.m.
After Story Time, all are invited to stay and play throughout The Magic House. General reservations are $14; member reservations are $5.
