Opening hours: 10:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Fridays from 9:30 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Last admission one hour before closing.
The spectacular Arsenali Repubblicani will once again be transformed into a magical place, where the wonder of Christmas comes to life in a unique and engaging atmosphere.

Designed for children and their families, Santa's Factory is a Christmas village that stands out for its innovative approach: an immersive experience, full of excitement, lights and colours, which transforms every corner into a world of dreams and fun.
Once again this year, Fridays will be dedicated to school groups and organised groups, offering them the chance to experience the magic of the Factory in a setting designed specifically for educational and recreational activities. A special opportunity to learn while having fun, discovering the history, creativity and values of Christmas.
At the entrance, visitors will be greeted by breathtaking scenery: Santa's house, elves at work and the famous sleigh with reindeer, where children can climb aboard to take unforgettable photographs. The enchanted atmosphere accompanies children on an extraordinary journey into the world of Christmas, filled with sounds, scents and smiles.
One of the most eagerly awaited moments is, as always, the meeting with Santa Claus himself. The kind protagonist of the festivities will welcome the children with a smile and listen to their wishes, making each encounter a precious memory. In Santa's Post Office, the little ones will be able to write and send their letters to the North Pole, giving free rein to their imagination and hopes.
The activities and workshops will be even richer and more surprising. Alongside the traditional creative and recycling workshops, where Christmas decorations can be made from recycled materials, and the LEGO workshops, this year will also see the debut of traditional wooden games and arcade games, a perfect combination of past and present that will delight young and old alike.
There will also be interactive shows featuring fairy tale characters, where children will be part of the story and can experience exciting Christmas adventures alongside their favourite heroes, puppet shows and Lego workshops.
The smell of candyfloss and popcorn will fill the air, guiding visitors to the refreshment area, a cosy corner where they can enjoy sweets and snacks in good company. A moment of conviviality that reinforces the spirit of celebration and sharing that characterises the event.
Santa's Factory is not only a place of fun, but also an opportunity for growth, encounter and magic. At a time when human warmth is more precious than ever, the event aims to create unforgettable memories, transmitting values such as creativity, solidarity and respect for the environment to children.
In conclusion, Santa's Factory 2025 is ready to once again bring genuine excitement to children and families. An enchanted journey into the heart of Pisa, between dream and reality, where even adults can rediscover the magic of the holidays within the evocative setting of the Arsenali Repubblicani.
