Each session can accommodate up to 15 children, and the cost is $10 per child. Grown-ups do not require a ticket. Kids will be greeted by elves as well as Mr. & Mrs. Claus, then Santa will read a story to them from the Opera House stage… and Mrs. Claus may have something up her sleeve! ?

After Storytime, each child will be able to briefly chat with Santa, and parents/guardians may take their own photos. Afterward, our young guests will be given a special treat bag (courtesy of the Woodland Opera House Guild) to take home. What fun!!
