Santa Only: Is there a way to just see Santa without going through the tour? Not at this time. We created Elf Labs: Fun with Santa for this reason. Children have fun doing activities and they see Santa as the last station. And you use your camera. These events run on the five Saturdays before Christmas. They do sell out.

How long is a tour? Tours on the average are 1.5 to 2 hours.
Is the tour inside? The first 2 minutes of the tour is outside to see our first exhibit. The rest of the tour is inside.
Should I make reservations or can I walk in and buy tickets? We have walkin tickets always available, first come first served.
We time our ticket sales so part of the entrants are reservations and part are Walk-Ins. If you see our tickets for a time slot are sold out, remember you can arrive and expect to get tickets as a walk-in, although the wait may be extended depending on the season and visit time.
Reservation Entry: Please enter at the gift shop. Print or show on your phone: Your reservations Confirmation Email or your PayPal Confirmation or show your drivers license upon arrival.
Reservations: On the average we run within 30 minutes of your reservation time. We encourage everyone to enjoy the attraction at the their own pace. Sometimes this causes a back-up in the entrance area. Reservations recommended during the Christmas season. Click here to make reservations now.
Dinner Reservations: Make dinner reservations BEFORE your tour at Castle Noel.
Are we handicap accessible? The first floor is handicap accessible. The second floor is not. For our wheel chair patrons we have a venue to watch a professional video of the displays on the second floor. To facilitate your visit we do need to open up our gate between our two buildings in order to remove the hassle of steps between the gift shop and the museum itself. Stop inside the gift shop and let us know! Have someone in your party come inside the gift shop and let us know you need assistance. Drop off is in front of Castle Noel’s Gift Shop, 258 South Court St.
Walkers with seats are available on site. I encourage folks that need to rest to use these. This way they have a moving chair to rest on whenever they need to.
