Buildings

The buildings thoughout the village are filled with some of the most amazing things! But did you know? The buildings themselves were sketched and designed by the famous artist Arto Monaco. He helped design Santa's Workshop and began construction in 1947. This was his first theme park design and that alone makes the buildings an extrodinary attraction based on his credibility as an artist, theme park designer, toy designer, illustrator and cartoonist. His wife Gladys was proud to have been the first Little Bo Peep at Santa's Workshop. She correctly claimed to have "worn the Little Bo Peep costume better than anyone." She enjoyed adding, "After all, Arto designed it!" Check out the buildings and enjoy his imagination and talent!
