Visit the Santa Experience at Sherway Gardens (Etobicoke)

Memories are made of this! Children can enjoy an exciting, interactive visit with Santa at Sherway Gardens (Hwy 427 & the QEW) weekdays and Saturdays from Monday, November 17 until Wednesday, December 24 at the award-winning Santa Experience. Registration will be accepted in person at the Holiday Information Desk near the entrance to Sherway Square starting on November 7. 100% of the $5 per child ticket price goes to Sleeping Children Around the World.

We encourage you to book in advance, so as not to be disappointed if the session you wish to attend is full. Call (416) 621-1070 for more information or visit http://www.sherwaygardens.ca/.

Santa will entertain his little guests and lead them in an interactive play session that includes singalongs, dancing and story reading – ending with a special moment with the jolly gent and a small gift for each child. Sessions are approximately 30 minutes long, and parents are encouraged to join in the fun. With these scheduled sessions and pre-registration, children will not have to wait in long line-ups. Each child must be registered, newborns included, and the number of participants for each session is limited to a maximum of 40 children.

100% of the $5 per child ticket price goes to Sleeping Children Around the World – a locally based charity that provides bed kits for needy children in developing countries. Each bedkit consists of a mat or mattress, pillow, sheet, blanket, mosquito net (if applicable), clothes outfit, towel and school supplies. Bedkit contents vary from country to country depending upon local needs. Visit http://www.scaw.org/ for more information.
