Oh, The Who-Manity!

Lunch with Santa

Holiday Open House weekend wouldn't be complete without a visit from the big man himself. From noon-2pm on Saturday, December 14, you are invited to Lunch with Santa.

Meet The Grinch & Buddy The Elf

Get up close and personal with the Grinch! Step into Whoville and capture the holiday spirit with an unforgettable photo opportunity alongside this iconic character. He might even strike a classic Grinch pose or two!
But that's not all – this year, we're bringing cheer for all to hear with a visit from Buddy The Elf. Get ready to snap selfies with the most enthusiastic North Pole export, who thinks the four main food groups are candy, candy canes, candy corn, and syrup. Bring your brightest smile and weirdest Christmas wish – Buddy's got a direct line to Santa!
