It's the most wonderful time of the year here in Alaska. To celebrate the magical holiday season, you'll want to make a trip to The Christmas Factory where you can participate in all things Christmas.
The moment you step inside, you'll feel as though you've been temporarily transported to the North Pole. That's because you will have arrived at Santa's newest outpost, where he and the elves work around the clock to prepare for the holidays.
This one-of-a-kind Christmas Factory has been handcrafted by artisans with the dream of putting together a magical Christmas experience for the entire Alaska community.
More than just a program for the kids, The Christmas Factory guided tour is a theatrical experience for the entire family.
Each tour of the factory lasts approximately one hour long and is handicap accessible. Tours are offered in 20 minute intervals, to be sure that participants have enough time to fully experience each stop.
Some of the memorable stops include Christmas Lane, Santa's Mailroom, the Toy Room, and the Wrapping Room. Each will be an interactive experience for visitors to enjoy.
Perhaps the best stop of all is the visit to Mrs. Claus' bakery, where each visitor will be welcomed with a freshly-baked cookie and a cup of hot cocoa.
No matter your age, you're bound to feel like part of the community when you embark on this festive and interactive Christmas tour. Some of the tour includes a little time outdoors, so be sure to bundle up accordingly!
The Christmas Factory is dedicated to giving back to the community by supporting Build Them Up, a nonprofit program that helps children discover their potential and confidence through fine arts.
