Families in the Miami Valley will step straight into the magic of the North Pole this season as Santa’s Wonderland Nights opens its doors December 12 at 5679 Webster Street in Dayton, Ohio. The brand-new indoor Christmas experience transforms a warehouse into Santa’s Kringleworks— a hidden “North Pole District” where Christmas magic is imagined, built, tested, and shipped around the world.
Designed as a fully themed night out rather than a quick walk-through, Santa’s Wonderland Nights offers guests approximately 2.5 hours of interactive holiday fun. Every ticket includes a seated holiday dinner, access to nine immersive rooms filled with 16 different activities and games, and a meet-and-greet with Santa complete with photo opportunities.
“Parents are always looking for something that feels bigger than a light walk or a quick mall visit,” said the event’s creators at A & L Entertainment Immersive. “Santa’s Wonderland Nights is designed as an evening you sink into — you sit down for dinner together, you explore room by room, you play, build, discover, and actually make memories side by side.”
The Elf Toy Co
Inside Santa’s Kringleworks:
Guests begin their evening in the Celestial Hall, where they enjoy a festive dinner and a round of holiday trivia before being released into the Kringleworks to explore. From there, they move at their own pace through nine handcrafted rooms, each built as a different corner of the North Pole District, including:
- The Elf Toy Co. – Build a small toy to take home and try hands-on elf-style tasks
- Peppermint Power Plant – A code-cracking game where families help “power” the North Pole
- The Old Map Room – A constellation and navigation game that plays like a living puzzle
- The Post Office & Starlight Mailroom – Write and deliver letters straight to Santa
- Elf Pantry & Cookie Labs – Decorate cookies and enjoy sweet treats
- Kringle’s Corner – Meet Santa and take family photos in a themed sleigh setting
The Post Office & Starlight Mailroom
Across these rooms, families can take on 16 different activities, games, and challenges, ranging from logic puzzles and scavenger hunts to sensory guessing games and creative stations. The event is strictly limited to 100 guests per night, keeping lines short and allowing families to linger in each space.
Dinner, Dessert & More Included
Dinner in the Celestial Hall
Unlike many ticketed holiday attractions that charge extra for food or photos, one ticket at Santa’s Wonderland Nights includes the entire evening:
- Holiday dinner in the Celestial Hall (with options including spiral-sliced ham, eggplant parm, and kid-friendly meals)
- Dessert and an ice cream bar
- Nine immersive rooms of themed environments and puzzles
- 16 activities and games suitable for kids and adults
- Photos and meet-and-greet with Santa
Tickets are available only on select nights from December 12 through January 4.
Peppermint Power Plant
From the Creators of Blackwood Manor Halloween Bash
Santa’s Wonderland Nights is produced by A & L Entertainment Immersive, the same team behind Dayton’s Blackwood Manor Halloween Bash, a sold-out immersive Halloween event that drew strong word-of-mouth and enthusiastic reviews from families earlier this year.
“After Blackwood Manor, so many families asked us if we could do something just as special for Christmas,” the creators added. “Santa’s Wonderland Nights is our answer to that — a holiday world that feels big, detailed, and handcrafted, but still cozy enough that your kids feel like they’re really part of the story.”
