This open-air entertainment complex is getting a visit from jolly old St. Nicholas. The Santa Workshop Experience runs Monday through Thursday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Friday through Sunday from 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. A Plexiglas separates Santa from all his visitors, but Santa's elves work their magic and remove the Plexiglas from any photos. Only one family group at a time is allowed in Santa's 800-square-foot workshop. Each child that visits the workshop gets a complimentary ticket to ride The Wheel at ICON Park. The observation wheel takes guests for a spin aboard capsules that go 400 feet above Orlando. Other guests who visit The Santa Workshop can get tickets for The Wheel at a 50 percent discount. There also are other attractions at ICON Park like cookie decorating, story time with Mrs. Clause and the Polar Express Train.
