SANTA EXPERIENCE ADD-ON

SANTA

Admission: $10 Per Person

New this season, The Santa Experience takes you inside the Battleship Wisconsin's historic Wardroom for a reserved meet-and-greet with Captain Claus himself. Selfies are encouraged! 2022 marked the 400th anniversary of the classic poem, 'Twas the Night Before Christmas,' and you'll have front row seats as a talking book and bookworm (yes- you read that correctly!) recount this wonderful tale. Your entire family will love the delicious hot chocolate and cookies; children of all ages can write a letter to Santa and even post in the Battleship Wisconsin's original mailbox!

The Santa Experience is available during select times on Friday - Sunday starting Nov. 11 and will open Wednesday - Sunday on Dec. 14-24.

Please note: General admission tickets must be purchased in addition to the Santa Experience. Please select "add on" in your cart before purchasing.
