As the New Year holidays draw closer, Kyiv becomes filled with a special, fairy-tale atmosphere. Yet there is one place that not only helps you believe in magic—but lets you truly step inside it. This is the Christmas Dream Factory at VDNH.
It is not just a festive decorated location, but a magical universe where even adults can feel the wonder again. Here, everything is creative, joyful, enchanting, and genuinely filled with the Christmas spirit.
A Unique World of Elves and Wonders
If you’ve always dreamed of seeing what Santa’s workshop really looks like—with cheerful, bustling elves—your wish is finally coming true. At this very Factory, magical elves work tirelessly, creating Christmas beauty nonstop. Their enchanted laboratories glow with warm lights, shelves are lined with hundreds of dazzling ornaments, and the air is filled with that familiar childhood scent of the holidays.
At every step, you’ll meet a new character with their own story and secret. For example, you can witness firsthand how glass ornaments are created, how they gain their colors, and how each one receives its unique pattern. It’s a fascinating sight—almost as if you’re watching real magic happen right before your eyes.
Workshops That Let You Touch the Magic
One of the special features of the Factory is that you can not only watch the process but also take part in it. Every visitor has the chance to create their own Christmas ornament with their own hands.
Young artists—and older ones too—receive everything they need for the process: glitter, paints, decorative elements, and brushes. And while the elves share helpful tips, you’ll be transforming a simple glass ball into a real Christmas treasure. You can craft your unique ornament right during the workshop, or you can take all the materials home if you’d prefer to create in your own cozy space.
Christmas Mail and Letters of Wishes
What would the Christmas atmosphere be without Christmas Mail? Of course, it’s here. This is the place where the warmest messages to loved ones are born. Each letter can be decorated with stamps and stickers to add a touch of magic. And every message is sent directly from the Holiday Post Office.
And if you have a lifelong dream, be sure to leave it in the special Wish Room. As the elves say, this is where dreams are charged with a special kind of magic—and where they are certain to come true.
An Incredible Atmosphere You Won’t Want to Leave
This place has become something more than just a bright route filled with entertainment and curiosities. It is imbued with a festive spirit and an atmosphere that settles on you like a magical shimmer—and stays with you long after you leave.
Such a warm and enchanting feeling is created thanks to:
- unique Christmas decorations at every step;
- soft, glowing lights and gentle twinkling;
- friendly elves who love to chat and make jokes;
- music that sets the perfect holiday mood;
- and the unmistakable sense that anything is possible.
Souvenirs to Remember the Fairy Tale
After exploring all the magical corners, it’s time to think about what will remind you of this enchanting journey. You can find plenty of delightful things in a small shop nearby.
