Get ready for a jolly good time with Mrs. Claus who will travel all the way from the North Pole to visit The Magic House! You'll enjoy festive fun as Mrs. Claus reads her favorite winter stories in the cozy Story Time Theater all decked out for the season.
Along with Santa's elves, Mrs. Claus will lead kids in festive songs and dances, including a jolly sing-along of Jingle Bells and Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. Kids will get to shake jingle bells along to the music.
In addition to storytime, there will be a variety of holiday-themed crafts for kids to make, including reindeer antlers and snowman puppets.
Storytime with Mrs. Claus is included with admission to The Magic House.
Storytime with Mrs. Claus will be held Tuesdays through Sundays, December 2-22, at 11 a.m. and 2 p.m. The Magic House will be open Monday, December 22.
