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!

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.

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.

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.

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!

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.
