If you’ve ever wondered where you can meet Santa in Cleveland, you’ve probably settled for visiting his helpers at quaint community events. After all, with the biggest day of the year right around the corner, Santa himself doesn’t have time to pose for pictures with each and every child… that is, unless they visit him at work! Fortunately, Kris Kringle’s toy inventing laboratory is located right here in Cleveland, and it helps sprinkle holiday cheer on the local season of celebration.
Tower City has been a great source of holiday cheer for many years.
In addition to incredible decorations, Tower City also hosts incredible events each holiday season. Just think of the Toy Soldier Show, which is over 30 seasons old!
It also hosts Mr. Kringle's super-secret laboratory, where he and his crew work hard throughout the holiday season to perfect toys.
There's so much to discover at this quirky holiday attraction in Cleveland! Visitors will travel through Kris Kringle's toy lab (which is way cooler than his traditional workshop), working as an honorary elf to help create the perfect toys for Christmas.

In past years, Time has praised Kringle's Inventionasium Experience for having one of the very best Santas in the nation.
According to their recent article, our very own Santa is a hit with fans. Kris Kringle of Kringle's Inventionasium is much friendlier than traditional Santas, focusing on an important task (inventing toys for all the kids on the nice list) instead of sitting on a cushioned throne and posing for pictures.

Kringle's Inventionasium also offers one of the most personalized experiences with Santa.
When guests purchase a deluxe experience, they have the option to fill out a questionnaire about their own personal holiday traditions. Then, when the kids meet with Mr. Kringle himself, he'll be sure to sprinkle references to your family's unique holiday into the conversation.
After you are given your assignment by the Interimaginary Travel Agency, you'll journey through some of Santa's most secret projects. You and the kids will visit places like the Brainstorming Department, and you'll absolutely fall in love with this immersive and hands-on approach to traditional holiday fun.
If you've never attended Kringle's Inventionasium Experience, it's essentially an interactive tour through Mr. Kringle's toy inventing laboratory that spans roughly one hour.
The event runs from late November through Christmas Eve as Mr. Kringle and his team gear up for their biggest day of the year. Guests are encouraged to visit in pajamas and bring their imagination along because kids will have the opportunity to invent their very own toys.
This STEM Certified adventure is fun for the whole family, and kids get to take home the toys they invent.
Additionally, wheelchair accessibility and a focus on inclusivity mean that anyone and everyone can visit Mr. Kringle at his incredible Cleveland-based toy workshop.
Wacky and wonderful meet in this quirky modern holiday tradition...
This is an event the whole family will love. Bring your camera - photography is encouraged! As the holiday season is always a busy one, be sure to purchase tickets in advance.

...And the fun goes down each year at one of Cleveland's most festive destinations.
Wintertime is so magical in Cleveland that even Mr. Kringle himself couldn’t resist setting up his toy lab here. Have you ever visited Kringle’s Inventionasium? Tell us about your experience!
