The 3,000 sq. ft. Santa’s Flight Academy experience is a
personalized holiday adventure. Each visiting cadet receives a
flight crew badge then, as an elite member of Santa’s flight crew,
is fitted with a virtual flight suit. From there, the cadet
partners with a helpful elf to inspect and power Santa’s 22 ft.
tall sleigh using a series of interactive stations. The visit
culminates with a snowfall dance party and, of course, time with
Santa.
“There’s nothing in the industry like Santa’s Flight Academy,”
said William Taubman, the company’s chief operating officer. “In
blending technology and holiday spirit in such a heartwarming way,
we have created a special new holiday tradition.”
Santa’s Flight Academy is free to the public, but a variety of
optional photo packages are available for purchase (each includes a
complimentary Lovepop card). To expedite the experience during the
busy holiday season, customers are encouraged to create their
flight crew badges on the center’s website in advance of arrival,
or through the mobile app. In certain centers (see below), guests
can reserve a specific visit time in advance by purchasing a
Santa’s Express Lane pass online.
