Magic At Every Turn

Your journey begins by boarding one of Santa's Magic Trolleys at the breathtaking Little America Hotel. Your Trolley Elf will whisk your family away and transport you through the Magic Portal to the enchanted North Pole destination, Santa's Grand Workshop. Once you knock on Santa's Grand Workshop doors, you'll experience a holiday family adventure unlike any other. First stop is Santa's famous Toy Hall of Fame. Next, it's all hands on deck as you help Santa's Elves build toys for children around the world!

Next it's on to Santa's Factory and Mrs. Claus' Bakery for her signature hot cocoa and treats. Once you've had your fill of holiday sweets, it's off to Elf University to earn your special elf diploma. From there, you'll visit the busy North Pole mail room, where you can write a personal letter to Santa, then tour his top secret sleigh hangar and see his newest sleigh.

Every family that visits Santa's Grand Workshop will get one-on-one time with St. Nick himself. Each family will receive complimentary digital photos, and each child will receive a 2023 Commemorative NPX teddy bear. Santa, Mrs. C and All the Elves can't wait to meet you!

Testimonials

Melissa R. -

This was the BEST family vacation we had taken at Xmas time! My kids had the most amazing time from getting their Golden Tickets, to riding the trolley to the North Pole, then making toys for the children and signing with the elves while enjoying Snowman Soup and cookies.. Then the final adventure seeing Santa was the highlight!!! Such a fun exciting time our whole family had from beginning to end, Well done NPX!!! Thanks for the memories.

Leslie B. -

Took my 4 yr old daughter who has not stopped talking about the experience. It was so incredible to see her eyes ‘light up’ and she absolutely LOVED every minute of the experience. It brought tears to my eyes to see the joy in my daughter.

Kelli S. -

We had an absolute blast two years ago in Greer. We cannot wait to take our two up to Flagstaff. It’s such a magical place.

Denise I. -

I had dreamed of a place like this to take my child and they surpassed all of our expectations. I wish we could make the trip every year!

Tiffany T. -

The North Pole experience is a magical place. You feel like you are transported directly to the North Pole. The gleam in the children’s eyes when they realize they are visiting Santa’s Workshop is priceless. Their faces beam as they bounce from room to room. Being able to explore all the North Pole Experience has to offer is truly an event that all families should experience and one that children will never forget.

Julia L. -

My husband and I took our 6 children to the NPX and had the most memorable Christmas. It was like being a part of a magical Christmas story.

“The Disneyland equivalent of Santa’s Workshop”

Arizona girl, 2, with terminal cancer gets Christmas miracle from volunteers, donations

A horse-drawn carriage picked Cali and her parents up down the block and brought them to their transformed home. Volunteers from the local fire department and an event planning business, J Barry Designs, had spent the day making snow on the lawn. Crews covered her home and yard in decorations and lights and built a Minnie Mouse-themed tent next to her house.

The 2-year-old reveled in seeing her first snow and threw a snowball at her father.

Inside, Cali was greeted by Minnie Mouse, Santa, an elf and a tea party.

Her presents included a two-night-stay at the North Pole Experience, a look at St. Nick’s headquarters. Cali will be the guest of honor and turn on the festive park’s Christmas lights.

She also received a card filled with Visa gift cards from Brock Osweiler, backup quarterback for the Denver Broncos.

Christmas magic comes to life at North Pole Experience

THE NORTH POLE — It has become one of the most holiday popular events in our state, and this year, The North Pole Experience is getting ready to deliver even more Christmas magic to children during the holiday season.

Heidi Goitia visited the North Pole Experience in Flagstaff on “Good Morning Arizona” Thursday to explore the winter wonderland, and see what magic is in store for the little ones.

At the North Pole Experience, visitors first go through the “portal” to the Christmas adventure.

They begin their journey at Santa’s Toy Invention Hall of Fame where they can see popular toys that elves have made over the decades.

Next stop? Santa’s workshop, of course! It’s a very interactive experience inside Santa’s 12,000-foot workshop, as kids get to help elves build toys. Children can also watch the elves package and deliver the toys they made in the factory. You won’t believe the “wrapping room!”

After their hard work, they are rewarded with hot chocolate and cookies. While the children eat, they sing with the elves, and their Christmas spirit will very likely summon a visit from Santa Claus himself!

The adventure begins at Little America Hotel in Flagstaff. The hotel is located near Interstate 40, and it will be decked out in millions of lights. Families will climb aboard their elf-driven trolley and ride through the magic portal to Santa’s workshop. All along the way, Christmas music rings, lights flash and the magic begins.

The entire North Pole Experience takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes. Tickets start at just $38, and tours are available November 21 through December 27.

Drive time to Flagstaff from Phoenix is about two hours.

Visit northpoleexperience.com or call 480-779-9679 to purchase tickets.
