Santa is spending the weeks ahead of Christmas working out of Kelowna and he's inviting you to take a tour.

Santa's Office opened on Nov. 21 inviting families into the Elf Academy and Mrs. Claus' Kitchen before heading over to St. Nick's office. 

Once in the office, families will have time to take photos with Santa before leaving the North Pole. 

Put on by Show Off Expos, Chief Elf John Perks said as a parent he wanted to create something special for kids and families. 

"We have a four and a six year old, so we know what it's like to have to wait in line to see Santa," Perks said. "Those quick two-minute experiences and you don't get that magical photo because your kids are screaming. My wife and I wanted to create an immersive experience where kids could be transported to the North Pole."

The hour-long tour runs Thursday and Friday evenings and throughout the day on Saturday and Sunday. The week leading up to Christmas will have every day open for bookings including on Christmas Eve.
