Tips & Advice

  • Keep the Magic Stick your child writes their name on, because handing it in at Fattoria Ariete in Gorno next spring gets that child in free.
  • Leave medium and large dogs at home, since only small dogs carried in your arms or in a carrier can come inside.
  • Bring a charged phone or camera, because you can take as many photos as you like inside, including on Santa's sleigh.
  • Make a day of it by walking through Clusone's festively lit old town and its Christmas markets before or after your visit to Palazzo Gorra.
  • Buy tickets in the online presale if you'd rather have them sorted in advance, but note that presale tickets carry an extra fee on top of admission.

Special Events & Promotions

  • The Befana arrives on December 28, with afternoon sessions through January 4, 2027.
  • Each child's named Magic Stick gets that child into Fattoria Ariete in Gorno free when it reopens in spring 2027.
  • Children up to two years old get in free.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can children do inside Santa's house?

They pick up a Magic Stick so Santa will recognize them, pose on Santa's sleigh for a photo, and write a wish list with the elves' help. Then they hand the list to Santa with their family and get a few gifts in return. There are also rooms to tour and Christmas craft workshops like the Magic Bauble and the Enchanted Pine Cone.

Is it a guided tour, and how long should we allow?

There's no guided tour. You can stay as long as your time allows.

Can we take photos inside?

Yes. You can take as many photos as you like inside the house.

Can I bring my dog?

Only small dogs, and only if they're carried in your arms or in a carrier. Medium and large dogs aren't allowed in.

Do children need an adult with them?

Yes. Children take part with an adult, and every activity is indoors.
