Santa's House in Riva del Garda

Visitors can meet Santa Claus in his study or wandering through the house, write wish lists at the Post Office, and take festive photos with themed props. Children can join hands-on carpentry, mechanics, and baking workshops to earn stamps for their creative elf passport and obtain an official sleigh-driving license. The experience also features daily magic shows and snack breaks with hot chocolate, waffles, and krapfen.

Tips & Advice

  • Book online or at a Garda Trentino Info Point by the day before, since same-day bookings at the house depend on places still being free.
  • Choose your date and turn carefully when you book, because dates and times cannot be changed once the booking is made.
  • Arrive early in your turn so there is time for the workshops, the sleigh license and a show before the house closes.
  • Remind children to ask for a stamp in their Creative Elf Passport at the end of every workshop they complete.
  • Leave time for the snack break with hot chocolate, waffles and krapfen, and for photos in elf hats and scarves at the photo corner.

Special Events & Promotions

  • New this year: games and stickers featuring the elves, for more fun once you're back home.
