First, kids get scanned by the "naughty or nice" scanner--to check if they've been naughty or nice this year. Mine liked seeing his name on the nice list. Then, we had the chance to experience an augmented reality set inside Santa's observatory. Adults and kids alike get a special tablet so they can see beyond a window and the ceiling and see elves, presents and other gear animated on screen.
At the end of the journey the entire family gets to meet Santa Claus! The great part is that the new experience plus the pictures are all included in the photo package! So make your way to Los Cerritos Center or Lakewood Center to take a photo with Santa (and as an added bonus you can make an appointment with Santa's photo team by visiting www.santa-hq.com.).
