Tour the North Pole!

A magical portal has opened on Balboa Island! Santa and his elves are ready to transport you and your family for the tour of a lifetime!

A completely re-imagined Santa experience. At Once Upon A Christmas, we invite you to be Santa's VIP as we whisk you away on a private tour of the North Pole, opening magic doors, building toys in the workshop and cozying up by Santa's fireplace.

 

Perhaps the most important, and magical element of this unique experience is that here, Santa will never ask your name, he already knows you!  Imagine the amazement as Santa himself calls on your children by name as they walk through the door and recalls their growth and accomplishments this year!  Picture the look on their faces as they realize that Santa not only remembers them, but he really has been watching all year!

Next stop, Santa's Workshop! Take delight in the stunning scenery as toys whirl & play around you. Assist the head elf as they hurry to get ready for Christmas, there are so many toys to make, can you help?

Spend more time with Santa than any where else! Watch the surprise on your children's face as he calls them by name and recalls their year of accomplishments and growth! They'll have no doubt they've met the one & only, REAL Santa Claus!

Your first stop out of the Elfavator? Santa's Reindeer Barn! Even Comet knows your name as he sings, jokes and helps you find your way through the next magical portal...

Flying Elevators, hidden doors, appearing toys & more! We can't give away too much, you'll have to travel through the portals yourself & see what surprises await at season 4 of our enchanted, one-of-a-kind experience!
