Santa will be available to meet with all ages, families, teens, couples, and adults. There is no charge to meet Santa plus, photos are FREE! Now that's something you won't get from a standard Mall Santa.

Santa Claus will be available Saturday & Sunday from 11am - 3pm. Due to anticipated demand to meet Santa, we suggest attendees purchase the $15 VIP Tickets which gets you into the event 1 hour before the doors opens to the general public. That's 1 hour of early access to Santa and the event, allowing you to beat the crowd and lines. Friday hours are 6-9 pm: VIPs may enter at 5:00 pm.

WHY ARE THERE MULTIPLE EVENTS DISPLAYING A SIMILAR EVENT WITH THE SAME DATES AND LOCATION? These are all the same event! We are limited in the amount of characters we can type in an event title. Since our event encompasses: Anime, Game, Horror, Marvel, Disney, Star Wars, Alice in Wonderland, this is simply too long to put into an event title. To make it easier and in order to reach fans of each theme, we have created separate events for these themes but keep in mind, it is all the same event.

Each Ticket Includes complete breakfast & dining Experience including 1 on 1 with voice actor Kent Williams (consisting of full menu & drinks) at a modern breakfast restaurant.

THIS EVENT SEEMS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE. HOW DO I KNOW THIS IS A LEGITIMATE EVENT? We encourage you to Google us at "amazing art expo" where you will see many updates, reviews, etc. We have over 64,000 followers on Facebook, 44,000 on Instagram and have been in business since 2016. We have hosted over 100 events during that time. 

WHY DO I NEED TICKETS IF THE EVENT IS FREE? Ticke reservations help us monitor what our attendance will be and we may email you next time we are in your neighborhood. However, with the exception of VIP tickets, free ticket reservations are not required to enter the event. You can just show up. 

HOW DO I GET AN AUTOGRAPH FROM THE VOICE ACTORS? Autographs may be purchased at the event (voice actor's booth) using cash, credit card or Apple Pay. Last Call for Voice Actor Autographs is on Sunday at 3:00 pm. There will be other options as well to upgrade your signature to include larger prints, Funkos, swords, statues, quotes/doodles, voice/video recording, selfies, etc. Those prices will be determined at the event itself. You may bring to the event your own product(s) to be signed including print(s), Funkos, swords, etc. Remember, this is also a pop culture art expo and there will be lots of super cool prints relevant to the voice actor available to purchase at the event. We encourage you to take a look at the art show first before getting in line with the voice actors. If you plan to purchase autographs, we recommend you also purchase a VIP ticket since it allows you 1 hour early access to the voice actors before the doors open to the public, at which time the lines can get lengthy.
