Sherway Gardens Santa Experience Goes Beyond the Grotto
It’s that time of year again – Santa Claus is coming to town.
Sherway Gardens is selling tickets for its Santa Experience, due to start in just under two weeks. Have you heard about it before? It’s pretty cool.
Instead of spending a half hour in line for a minute of their child in Santa’s lap, Sherway Gardens sells $5 tickets to give kids a chance to spend some quality time with the jolly ol’ elf. For half an hour, children and their parents can join Santa for an interactive play session with singalongs, dancing and story reading. Children get the chance to share their Christmas wishes with Santa, and parents are given the opportunity to take an informal photo of their little ones posing with him.
Oh, and the kicker? 100% of the ticket cost goes to Sleeping Children Around the World. The charity provides bed kits for children in need. Mats or mattresses, pillows, sheets, blankets, and mosquitos nets, as needed, are provided to kids in developing countries, along with clothes, towels and school supplies. Talk about a merry Christmas for all.
Not only that, but Sherway Gardens encourages participants to bring new, unwrapped toys to donate. For their kindness, the center gives donors a chance to win a special home visit from Santa on December 21.
