‘Santa’s Flight Academy’ Debuting at Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi

Shared by 2 Comments

The post below is sponsored by Twelve Oaks Mall. All opinions expressed are my own.

Tis the season to be jolly! Today I’m sharing about Santa’s arrival to Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi. Check out the information below and get excited 🙂

This year’s Santa theme at Twelve Oaks surrounds “Santa’s Flight Academy,” a one-of- a-kind, immersive holiday experience that combines a giant reimagination of the North Pole with state-of- the-art technology to enable children to become a member of Santa’s flight crew.

Partnering with an elf – either Sleigh Mechanic George, Flight Director Sparkle or Reindeer Caretaker Flash – each child will help ready Santa’s sleigh so he can deliver presents to children around the world. Pretty cute, right?

Upon entering Santa’s Flight Academy, each child ‘Cadet’ will present their official flight crew badge and will be immediately recognized by name. From there, several of Santa’s onsite helpers will guide children throughout the experience to be fitted for a virtual flight suit, help inspect and power Santa’s sleigh before takeoff, and other tasks to ensure that every present will be carefully delivered.

At the end of the adventure, each child will step inside of a 22-foot- tall sleigh for an enchanted snowfall dance party before meeting Santa. Children will also receive a special gift from Santa to personally thank them for heroically saving the day.

Sponsored locally by DMC Huron Valley-Sinai Hospital, Santa’s Flight Academy will be available exclusively at Twelve Oaks Mall from Friday, November 11, through Saturday, December 24.

Visitors are encouraged to pre-register children for a Santa’s Flight Academy entrance badge online via each shopping center’s website, or through the mobile app available for both Android and iPhone platforms. Registration will also be available onsite at Santa’s Flight Academy kiosks located in each shopping center.

A variety of photo packages, in addition to intricate and magical 3D pop-up paper holiday cards by Lovepop, will be available for purchase. Santa’s Express Lane passes and photo packages may be purchased online in advance of the visit.

Santa’s Arrival Event – November 11

On Friday, Friday, November 11 at 11:30 a.m. there will be a variety of fun available in the Lifestyle Cafe Food Court, including holiday-themed activities for children, a balloon twister, a first look at our new holiday experience, an appearance by WNIC radio personality, Jay Towers and more! Visit Twelve Oaks online or check out the Facebook event for more information.
