The North Pole Experience™ (NPX), the Home of Santa’s Workshop is heading into their 5th year of opening their workshop doors to families around the world to build toys with the elves. Located in Flagstaff, Arizona, the North Pole Experience s the only of its kind in the United States, providing guests the utmost unique Christmas adventure of a lifetime.
The NPX adventure begins at the Little America Hotel in Flagstaff which is decked out in millions of lights after the lighting ceremony on November 23rd.
When families arrive to Little America, they will check-in to receive their interactive ticket to the North Pole. The virtual ticket gets them on board one of Santa’s trolley’s where they will be guided by a trolley elf and through the forest and magic portal. As they pass through the portal, christmas music fills the trolley, lights flash, and children close their eyes. Before they know it, they have reached the North Pole. There in front of them lies the secret of all secrets. A massive workshop in the middle of the North Pole forest.
Children and parents are then guided off the trolley where they knock for the elves. Once families enter Santa’s toy factory headquarters, that is where the real magic begins. Santa’s Workshop at the North Pole Experience is a complete, hands-on experience for children. Families work side-by-side with the elves, building toys and interacting with the workshop bustle. They receive access to Santa’s main factory floor with soaring toy slides and ceilings, attend Elf University, visit with Mrs. Claus and enjoy cookies and snowman soup in the bakery. Don’t forget Santa’s mailroom, his personal office, and his top-secret “Area 47” Sleigh Hanger, featuring his famous sleigh, jam packed with some of the most advanced technology in the world, runway lights, radar systems and more. Families end the hour and 1/2 workshop tour with a private family visit with Santa.
“We can’t wait for the 2013 season,” states Scott Pace, CEO of the North Pole Experience. “We have grown 100% every year and heading into our fifth year, we are really looking forward to adding new magic to the experience for Santa’s guests. We are going over the top in 2013 and hope to add a memory or ten to our guests ‘Christmas-of-a-lifetime’ tradition.”
The NPX 2013 season begins on November 23 and goes through December 27, 2013. Families are encouraged to pre-select time and dates as the experience sells out every year.
Single adult workshop tickets cost $55.00, and $49.00 for children, 18 months and up.
