Hop in the sleigh—we’re headed to Santa’s Workshop! The North Pole Experience in Flagstaff is a magical Christmas village that promises to enchant kids one to ninety-two. Learn how to make toys for kids all around the globe, eat cookies with Mrs. Claus, tour the North Pole mailroom, and meet St. Nick himself. It’s a holly, jolly time all around!
Arizona’s snowiest town also happens to be a portal straight to the North Pole.

First, you’ll hop on a magic trolley and ride deep into the forest to Santa’s Workshop.

Upon arriving at the workshop, you’ll knock on the grand wooden doors that emanate Christmas magic.

From there, you’ll become an honorary elf and learn how to make toys for children all around the world.

It wouldn’t be Christmas without a few treats, and Mrs. Claus has been baking up a storm just for you.

Once your belly and mind have been adequately nourished, head into the always-bustling North Pole mailroom.

Finally, you’ll tour Santa’s top-secret sleigh hangar.
