Kids will have a chance to learn what it’s like to be one of Santa’s elves at Elf Academy at the Festival!
They’ll perfect their cookie decorating skills in Mrs. Claus’ Kitchen, create crafts for themselves or kids in the hospital in Santa’s Workshop, become gift experts as they explore the holiday tree forest to complete a scavenger hunt, and visit Teddy Bear hospital.
Once they complete the required coursework, the studious kiddos will earn their elf ears!
