I was blown away by our experience. I have four children ages 5-11 and they were all very impressed with everything you had to offer. My kids are getting to the age where it's hard to plan something that all four of them will enjoy, it's either too mature for my younger ones or it's too juvenile for my older ones, but all of them had a blast! My oldest enjoyed the lego and crazy chair area while my littler ones played in the snow ball fight section. The grinch vs Rudolph game was a huge hot for all of them, even mom and dad played against them and loved it. The dance room was also a huge hit for them, I had to physically drag my middle one out because she was loving it long after her sisters were over it. AND THE SANTA!! I cannot say enough positive things about the Santa experience. 100% worth the extra add on. Santa sees everyone in a private area so you don't need to worry about anyone who is waiting in line distracting you from your time with him. He was so interactive with the children, he was down on the floor with them, talking and laughing, he made sure he saw each child in our group individually as well as all together as a whole. He was joking with them and making them really laugh and loosen up their stranger danger spidey senses. He also had mom and dad come and sit on the couch and talk with him about their Christmas wishes. It was the best Santa experience we've ever had. My kids got in the car and were begging to go back. We were there for two hours but definitely could have stayed another hour no problem (dad was tired). I'm already looking forward to going back...
Read moreI was told about a amazing Christmas themed place in Canton, Ohio called the Christmas Factory. So a few days before Christmas I went on line and checked out their website & Facebook. I was extremely impressed with what I saw & wanted to go. I purchased my tickets on-line (you can also buy them at the door) and couldn’t wait till the Sunday I selected. The Christmas Factory opens at 12pm. The Christmas Factory is only open from November 25th to January 1, so plan accordingly. So I got there a little early to park. They have ample parking & extra “spill-over” lots as well. I recommend you get there early. The up close parking filled up quick. Checking in was super easy, present your tickets at the counter, receive your wrist band & map of the facility. I will tell you that it is very immersive! You are transported to a Christmas wonderland of your youth. Cartoons & movies that you watched as a child/young adult. A plethora of interactive exhibits & props for photo ops. They also have your favorite Christmas characters in costume walking around to take pictures with as well. There was so much to see & do, I was there for 5 hours just taking it all in. This place is also very family friendly, if you have children, they will absolutely love this place. There is even a bar with Christmas themed & named drinks that definitely put the “Christmas spirit” in you! You truly have to experience this place for your self. I promise you if you love Christmas you will ABSOLUTELY...
Read moreI wish this was around when my kids were little!! This the best Christmas experience I've ever been to! Don't let the setting fool you. This is crafted for the Christmas spirit, for believers of all ages! Nothing scary, just pure Christmas joy! I admit, I wanted to be a Grinch, but it was impossible. From the amazing sets, decorations, and characters, they really nailed what Christmas is supposed to be! Can we talk about Santa? He was THE BEST version. Seriously, this guy IS Santa! He was so good with everyone, very personable, and literally IS Santa Claus! What about the Grinch? He's there too! Super ornery & loves to takes pictures in his cave! And the costumed characters? Fantastic! Especially the Gingerbread Man, who was constantly dancing! I have no idea how much money they spent on sets & decorations, but it's literally like being at the North Pole. At every turn there's an opportunity to immortalize a memory with a picture perfect setting. Benches and atmosphere abound, this is the premier Christmas experience you've been...
