Santa’s Wonderland Nights
2025-12-12 18:30 - 2026-01-04 21:00 (America/Detroit)
Santa’s Wonderland Nights transforms a warehouse at 5679 Webster Street in Dayton into Santa’s Kringleworks – a hidden “North Pole District” of nine themed rooms where families move at their own pace through 16 interactive activities, games, and challenges, enjoy a holiday dinner, and end the evening with photos and a visit with Santa.
To keep it intimate and avoid long lines, each night is strictly limited to 100 guests.
A few highlights your audience might find interesting:

Indoor, fully themed North Pole warehouse experience in Dayton
Approx. 2.5-hour structured evening (dinner, exploring, Santa photos all included)
Nine rooms including an Elf Toy Co., Peppermint Power Plant, Map Room, Post Office & Mailroom, Cookie Labs, and Santa’s photo area
16 hands-on activities and puzzles designed for kids and adults to do together
Created by the team behind the Blackwood Manor Halloween Bash, a recent immersive Halloween event that sold out and drew strong word-of-mouth from local families

We’re happy to host a photographer or reporter on-site, and we can also provide photos, b-roll, and interviews with the creators about how the space was built and how immersive events like this fit into Dayton’s growing family entertainment scene.
