Santa is coming to Grass Valley!
Join us for the premiere Santa Claus experience in the heart of Gold Country!
Let your little ones experience the wonder of the season with a one-on-one session with the big man himself! Watch the twinkle in their eyes grow as their imagination comes to life.
From the excitement of receiving a personalized invitation letter from Santa, to finding their name on the nice list, children and parents both walk away with memories that will last a lifetime!
Our charming studio cottage, located minutes outside Grass Valley, CA has been beautifully decorated to create the joy and warmth of this immersive play experience.
No scrambling for parking, or waiting in long lines with tired kids, this private experience is just for you and your family. Our small studio allows us to provide you with a completely private visit, giving you and your kids the attention you deserve.
We look forward to creating exquisite holiday art for your family to enjoy for years to come.
