About the Concept
Experience the magic of the North Pole without leaving the city! Our dedicated team of elves has been working tirelessly to transform our new and improved venue, The Rooftop at Pier 17, into Santa’s enchanting headquarters, inspired by Disney's The Santa Clause.
The expansive 35,000-square-foot winter wonderland is set to offer a season jam-packed with winter activities, photo ops and memory-making. Glide into the holiday season while enjoying breathtaking views of the dazzling city skyline on Manhattan's only rooftop skating rink. The magic continues as you explore Santa's famous sleigh overlooking the water, zoom down a mini sledding hill and book a dinner in one of the private glass houses. You can even try your hand at curling! When you’re ready to warm up and relax; grab seasonal treats, hot chocolate and themed drinks from Judy’s Hot Cocoa-inspired café. Don’t miss Santa's living room, where you can cozy up in a comfy armchair and capture a memorable photo with Santa next to the fireplace.
