Last year over 11,000 people visited the attraction, and over the past year the space has not only expanded by 1,000 square feet, but includes more engaging characters (employing over 20 local Equity and non-Equity performers), a reworked and expanded retail space (where most items are $20 or less!), and created an entirely new photography system so that visitors have lots of choices for their prints of photos with Kris Kringle.</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"></span></font></p>

The kids wait in line for a bit outside the doors, and then, when they are invited in, are greeted by a fantastic cast of characters who welcome them to the City of North, then guide them through activities and adventures inside before they meet Mr. Kringle. These activities are designed to stimulate the imagination, educate, and just plain have fun... and it all culminates in the kids having an opportunity to create their own invention, and show it to Kris Kringle when they meet him for a personal visit and a photo!</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"></span></font></p>

If you so desire, however, you may purchase a photograph with Kris Kringle, get some holiday shopping done by perusing our imaginative and educational retail items, and/or take home the invention you can make during your final activity (and at only 50 cents per part and an average of 5-10 parts to make one of these toys, the cost is very affordable!).</span><span style="FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman','serif'; mso-fareast-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"></span></font></p>
