Popular holiday event returns to Flagstaff

The North Pole Experience will be returning to Flagstaff in mid-November.

One of Santa’s Magic Trolleys will whisk guests through a Magic Portal to a 400-year-old Santa’s Grand Workshop at the North Pole. Once inside, families will get to meet Santa himself and little ones will receive stuffed bears. Then, they will be treated to the Toy Hall of Fame, and proceed to help Santa’s Elves build toys in Santa’s Factory. Afterwards, everyone will go to Mrs. Claus Bakery to enjoy treats and hot cocoa.

From there, attendees will get the chance to earn ‘elf diplomas’ by attending ‘Elf University’. Next, it’s off to the North Pole mail room to write letters to Santa. The final stop will be at the secret sleigh hangar to view Santa’s newest sleigh.

A gift shop will offer necklaces, snowflake wands, ornaments that can be signed by Santa and his elves at the workshop, and North Pole Experience merchandise, each sporting a colorful Christmas graphic design.

November Daytime admission, from 7:50am to 3:40pm, will be priced at $58 for adults and $52 for children, while Nighttime admission (3:50pm to 9:00pm) will be $66 for adults and $59 for children.

December Daytime admission will be $68 for adults and $62 for children, and Nighttime will be $75 for adults and $69 for children.

The North Pole Experience will start at the North Pole Experience Trolley Departure Station at the Little America Hotel, 2515 E. Butler Avenue, on November 17th.
