OPENS oN NOVEMBER 29, 2024!
A Holiday Experience for All Ages
Indoors & Heated!
A Family-Friendly Holiday experience for everyone!
The production team that created the Ohio Christmas Factory has 22 years of experience creating spooky seasonal Halloween events – The Factory of Terror & Akron Haunted Schoolhouse & Laboratory. This year, our production team has created a one-of-a-kind Christmas experience with lots of holiday lights & sights but NO FRIGHTS (except for Spookytown!)
With over 50,000 square feet of indoor & heated space, the Ohio Christmas Factory is sure to become a holiday tradition.
He’s making his list and checking it twice. Sit down and tell Santa Claus what you’d like for Christmas.
*Must purchase a Santa Meet package to guarantee meeting Santa. Available as a separate ticket when you purchase your event admission online or at the box office.
Remember to stop at the photo counter in our exit gift shop to receive your physical print(s) and have your purchased digital images uploaded.
Once the sun goes down, you’ll be treated to a fun and exciting 15-minute state-of-the-art Christmas lights and effects show on our HUGE entrance facade. **does not run before dusk or after 11 pm**
Coming during our matinee? We’ve got an indoor musical light show synched to popular Christmas carols.
Brave the new Spookytown for 2024, located away from the main section that will feature some fun yet slightly spooky elements inspired by a certain beloved claymation Halloween/Christmas crossover film and other creepy Christmas elements.
No additional admission is needed, and area can be avoided for kids that would be too scared.
All of your favorite holiday characters will be on hand to meet & take photos with Greenie Meanie*, the Friendly Snowman, Big Guy Elf, Snow Queen, the snow monster, and so many more!
*souvenir photos will be available for purchase
Grab a chair and some crayons and remind Santa what you’d like for Christmas. Our Magical Mailbox will get your letter to the big man himself very quickly.
Have some fun decorating your own cookies! Also available will be Swiss Maid Amish Fry Pies, Norcia Bakery Pepperoni Rolls, and more!
