This season Lakewood Center and Los Cerritos Center are pleased to introduce a thoroughly modern, extraordinarily experiential visit with Santa – the new Santa HQ, presented by HGTV. Set to open November 8 at Lakewood Center and November 11 at Los Cerritos Center. We’re giving away a photo package valued at $46.99, so join below.
We visited last night and found the Santa HQ really cool. The kids got to experience something different, and it made taking pictures with Santa more pleasant because they got to relax and enjoy the place first. Check out all the fun things you can do at Santa HQ:
- Guests will be scanned at the ‘Naughty O’ Nice Meter
- Explore Santa’s Observatory using ELF-RAY Vision
- Enjoy a light show that runs throughout the day featuring “Carol of the Bells” and “Sleigh Ride”- a track on the recently-released Pentatonix holiday album, That’s Christmas To Me – as part of the experience. That’s Christmas To Me is available for purchase at the Santa set throughout the holiday season.
- Exclusively at Lakewood Center visitors can take an ELFIE selfie and star in their own holiday video.
- Enjoy a memorable family photo and interaction with Santa.
- Enter the HGTV Home for the Holidays Sweepstakes for a chance to win $10,000 starting on November 11, 2014.
Guests can plan ahead this year by booking a reservation online.
Visitors to Santa HQ can expect a jingle-filled sensory overload, in which the sights and sounds of the season will be up front and personal. The striking set was handcrafted in Atlanta, Georgia where Santa’s HGTV elves were hard at work designing the new environment for shoppers.
