Discover Santa: Interactive Journey to Meet Santa Claus - Pacific Coliseum

Back by popular demand!

If you enjoyed the PNE Fair’s Discovery Farm experience in the summer, then you and your little ones are going to love this Santa-themed adventure. With the assistance of our elf team, you can write a letter to Santa at the Post Office, make an ornament, and leave a delicious treat in the Reindeer Barn for the reindeer to discover later (be quick, they’re out right now and we wouldn’t want to spoil the surprise!). Next, make your way over to Toy Testing where you can do some quality checks to make sure all the toys are ready to be shipped out around the world. Once you’ve completed all the stations, you’ll get to meet Santa!

The PNE has partnered with BC Dairy and Tim Hortons to giveaway milk and cookies at Discover Santa. Be sure to pickup your coupon in the dairy barn after you milk Maggie the cow.

Professional photos with Santa will be available for $15.
