Located on the upper level of the mall near Sporting Life, tickets for the visit are $15 per child with all proceeds going to McMaster Children’s Hospital.
Visits are 30 minutes in length and pre-booking online is recommended. To book your session, visit mapleviewcentre.com/events/
“We’re thrilled to reintroduce Mapleview’s beloved Gingerbread Magic activation for families and guests to enjoy this season, and continue our commitment to the community with 100 per cent of the proceeds going to McMaster Children’s Hospital,” said Sydney Roberts, Marketing Manager at Mapleview Shopping Centre. “We extend a warm invitation to the community to join us in December and experience the enchantment of the season while exploring the premier shopping experience our centre has to offer.”
Also, during the holiday season at the mall, you can download the Mapleview Holiday AR app and visit the augmented reality (AR) installations throughout the centre to create and capture holiday moments.
