North Pole Experience with Santa & Mrs. Claus in Readstown
One activity points toward Christmas Eve; the other turns paper into old-fashioned snowflakes. North Pole Experience with Santa & Mrs. Claus pairs the two hands-on projects with time in the greenhouse, giving families more to do than pose for a picture.
A project with a holiday use, and one made of paper
With Mrs. Claus, children make reindeer food to sprinkle outdoors on Christmas Eve. With Santa, they learn to fold and cut old-fashioned snowflakes. The organizer lists materials for both crafts as provided, so families do not need to bring supplies for them.
The listing does not give a recipe for the reindeer food or describe a finished snowflake design; the announced activities are making the food and learning the folding and cutting.

Plan for a greenhouse temperature
The visit is set in the greenhouse at Second Nature at Reads Creek, a destination nursery, greenhouse and gift shop in the Driftless region, about seven miles south of Viroqua. The organizer says the furnace will be on but the temperature can vary with the sunshine, and recommends dressing in layers.
Cocoa and cookies are included. A camera is optional, as is wearing holiday-themed clothing.

Gift orders have a specific instruction
For a gift order, the organizer asks for the recipient’s name, the purchaser’s email address and a note that the order is a gift; it says it will email a PDF for the recipient. The event listing does not explain where to place the order, so the published phone number and email are the available contacts for questions.
