1. Mail a Letter to Santa
For a kid, there’s nothing more exciting than being able to tell Santa what they want for Christmas. With this year being more challenging than others when it comes to seeing Santa up close and personal, Bronner’s has a special mailbox for Santa. Your kids can drop off their carefully written Christmas list and it will be delivered to Santa himself to look at! Hopefully, they’ve been good this year.

3. Get Lost in the Christmas Wonderland
Ready to get lost? The total size of Bronner’s is 320,000 square feet. If you need help putting that into perspective in your mind, that’s about equivalent to 5.5 full-size football fields or about 7.35 acres. Wow!

From strolling down Christmas Lane to looking at the thousands of strung lights outside, you will be in awe at this Christmas Wonderland right here in Michigan.
4. Take a Picture With Santa
Outside of Bronner’s you can find an enormous statue of the big guy himself – Santa! This giant Santa welcomes all guests to Bronner’s and screams for a photo op for everyone that passes by. I mean, if you didn’t take a pic with the giant Santa, did you really even make a trip out to Bronner’s? Probably not.
5. Enjoy a Famous Sugar Cookie
After spending so much time exploring the magical areas of Bronner’s, sit down and relax to enjoy a frosted sugar cookie! Rumored that Mrs. Clause herself uses this same recipe to make her own sugar cookies for Santa. Taste test one of these cookies to help perfect your own recipe for Santa on Christmas Eve. There’s nothing quite like enjoying a sweet treat after a long day of exploring.
