Santa's Wonderland in Irvine

By Jill Parkin • Published: Nov 29, 2012 · Updated: May 5, 2019

Santa Wonderland is now open in Irvine! what is Santa's Wonderland you ask? it's a 23,000 square foot building where the kiddies can experience everything Santa. It is on of Orange County's newest holiday attractions.

you can visit the Reindeer Stables...
or Santa's Mail Room....
write a letter to Santa Claus....
and even mail it to the North Pole!
check out Santa's magical office....
the wrapping room....
or the control room.
our favorite room was the snow room.
the kids played and played in it. it isn't "real" snow, and i'm not sure what it even is....but it was cool.

and what kid doesn't like candy....or cookie decorating.
definitely something my kiddies love.
there is candy galore at Santa's Wonderland.
other activities include, playing toy and games with the elves, like having a stacking cup game.
and you can make Reindeer Food....
or play Reindeer Games.
you can warm yourself up with some hot cocoa and sugar cookies.
(not included in admission price. sandwiches and other items available for purchase at the Candy Cane Càfe.)
and before you go, make sure to find out if you are on the "naughty or nice" list.
hopefully you are nice!
and don't forget to visit Santa and get your picture with him.....
he's waiting to see you.
Santa's Wonderland is a family-friendly facility. please allow yourself at least 1-½ to 2 hours of visiting time. there is a lot to see and do. not pictured was Santa's Light Show, the Elf Academy room where you can get made up like an elf and more. all rooms are located indoors.
