To past customers of Dover's Santa's Castle,

Regrettably, we must inform you that Santa's Castle will not take place this year. Changes to access to space in the McConnell Center have made it much more challenging to run Santa's Castle as we usually do, so the decision was made to skip this year with the hope of returning in the future. We apologize for the disappointment this may cause, and we hope to celebrate the holidays with you again at the Castle down the road. Merry Christmas and happy holidays to you all!

Sincerely,
Santa and his elves

Planning for Santa’s Castle is underway but the event will look a little different this year. Since COVID is still a reality and many of our visitors will not be eligible for vaccines we are looking at some different formats. We would love your feedback on your preferred event format this year. Please send us a message and let us know which of the following options you would prefer:

Option 1: Would only participate in a Virtual Santa’s Castle – This would be a zoom even where your family would register for a specific time. The event would include several different virtual rooms where participants would hear a Christmas story, interact with Christmas characters, and of course meet Santa.

Option 2: Would only participate in a Modified In Person Experience – An in person event would require masks for all adults and older children. We would book specific times to visit the castle and an elf tour guide would walk you through multiple rooms of Christmas fun where kids would receive “grab and go” activities (instead of decorating a cookie you would get a cookie, frosting etc to use at home). The last room would be a socially distanced visit with Santa with an opportunity for pictures.

Option 3: Would participate in either format.
