Visit with Santa
Kids of all ages will enjoy the ‘Beneath the Tree’ Santa experience, set up in Domain II across from iPic Theaters and The Brass Tap. Families can visit Santa inside a nearly 18-foot-diameter toy drum positioned directly underneath a 40-foot Christmas tree. Once inside, visitors are struck by the tree’s 135 strobe lights and 27,200 LED miniature shimmering lamps visible through the toy drum’s 10-foot clear ceiling. Learn more here.
