There is a portal to the North Pole on Balboa Island in Newport Beach! Kids will be enchanted as they enter the North Pole, get scanned by the Naughty-or-Nice Meter, take a virtual ride on the North Pole "Elfavator", and meet and talk with Comet in the reindeer's barn. Depending on which package you choose, kids can enjoy a storytime with Santa, make a toy with his elves, and experience a magic snowfall.
Of course, this experience also features 5-7 images of kids with Santa. Guests can choose from the silver, gold, or VIP packages. Families can book up to 6 guests per tour, and four-legged friends are welcome to join.
