This is a sponsored post with Reach Orb and HGTV Santa HQ.

We were thrilled to get to visit Santa HQ for the first time ever! Our local mall hosts a Santa experience each year and we were thrilled to be able to experience our very own visit. This year the HGTV Santa experience at our local mall had elf academy a new, family-friendly experience that features interactive technology to enhance the entire HGTV Santa HQ visit.
We purchased the Fast Pass because the lines to see Santa were so long. It saved so much time and let us really experience all that Santa HQ had to offer! I would highly suggest getting that Fast Pass ahead of time!!!

I have to say our favorite experience was the Naughty and Nice Meter. It’s just a fun way to start the journey to meeting Santa. We also loved creating an eld-ID and becoming elves ourselves with the elf mirror.

The technology doesn’t stop there with elf-Ray Vision you can actually explore Santa’s Observatory through the use of tablets. You can see it all during your experience while you wait to see Santa.
I really liked that there was the elf academy, having kiddos who are little waiting can be tough. Even if they are waiting for Santa! Keeping them entertained while they wait to see Santa was so nice and created a stress free experience for us all!
Of course your trip to the North Pole ends with a magical Santa visit. My girls loved telling Santa what they wanted to do to help others this Christmas season.

One of my best tips for visiting a HGTV Santa HQ location this year, get your fast pass!!!! You can easily get your HGTV Santa HQ fast pass online.
