“Last year, we received a tremendous response from our guests about The Santa Workshop Experience. We’re honored to host this beloved family tradition in the heart of the Orlando Entertainment District again this year,” said Chris Jaskiewicz, president and CEO of ICON Park. “Our team is ready to provide amazing memories for locals and tourists alike during the most wonderful time of year.”

Officials said prior to making ICON Park its home in 2020, The Santa Workshop Experience, awarded best Santa experience in Central Florida, was at the Mall of Millenia.

Similar COVID-19 protocols will be in place this year for photos with Santa.

Every child who participates in The Santa Workshop Experience will receive a free ticket to ride The Wheel, ICON Park’s signature attraction. Guests accompanying the children will receive 50-percent off their tickets to The Wheel.

New this year, the complex will have a 40-foot Christmas tree.

“The tree, decked out from top to bottom, will be visible to everyone strolling along the famous International Drive. A lighting ceremony will take place on Dec. 1 to kick off the entertainment complex’s festivities,” officials described in a news release.
