North Pole Experience Celebrates a Milestone

The North Pole Experience (NPX), known for its enchanting immersion into Santa’s workshop, proudly celebrates its 17th anniversary this year. Having welcomed over 750,000 guests, this beloved attraction continues to be a cornerstone of holiday joy for families across the United States.

Located in Flagstaff, Arizona, NPX elevates holiday spirit, marking its place as a timeless family tradition that brings generations together. This season, with an investment of $240,000 into new upgrades, NPX promises a more magical experience than ever before.

A Journey Beyond Imagination

Families across the nation are seeking memorable and magical holiday experiences, driven by the desire to embrace festive traditions. Recent surveys indicate that nearly 79 percent of Americans plan to attend a holiday-themed event this year, ranging from dazzling light displays to cozy gingerbread festivals. The NPX stands as a gold standard for holiday celebrations.

Scott Pace, the creative mind behind NPX, shared, “Our mission has always been to provide a space rich in detail and warmth, where families can step into a world of wonder together.” The vision, initially conceived for his own children, has evolved into a cherished holiday pilgrimage for families nationwide. This year’s milestone further drives the team’s commitment to delighting visitors.

Exploring Santa's Magical Domain

The adventure commences aboard a whimsical trolley, expertly powered by the shimmering Aurora Borealis. As the trolley navigates through a magical portal, passengers are transported to the North Pole where the historic workshop awaited. Here, Santa’s Grand Workshop dazzles with over half a million classic toys, intricate decor, and stunning Broadway-inspired designs.

Santa, ready to spread cheer, remarks, “The Naughty and Nice list is prepared, and my elves are buzzing with excitement. Inside the workshop, families will uncover interactive experiences and delightful surprises around every corner.”
