Story Time with Mrs. Claus  

Experience the holiday magic from December 3 through 23 with a special visit from Mrs. Claus, traveling all the way from the North Pole! Mrs. Claus will share her favorite winter stories at 11:00 am and 2:00 pm in our cozy Story Time Theater, all decked out for the season. Along with one of Santaโ€™s elves, sheโ€™ll lead kids in festive songs and dances, including a jolly sing-along of Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeerโ€”and Santa himself will make a surprise appearance to join in the fun!
