Experience Christmas all year round here at Casa Santa Museum!
Pasko sa Pinas is arguably one of the most festive celebrations in the world. Our Christmas celebration starts as early as September and extends all the way to January. Filipinos decorate houses and establishments for Christmas like no other.
But, if you think you’re already the best designed Christmas house or establishment, think again – this museum has Christmas all year round, decorated all over with one of the most prominent names in Christmas, Santa Claus!
The Casa Santa Museum is home to over 3,700 Christmas and Santa mementos from different countries all over the globe. Owned by Edna del Rosario, this museum’s history traces back to 1992. She tapped Architect Rosario “Ning” Encarnacion Tan and muralist Alfred Galvez to make the place as it is today.
Among the top attractions of the Casa Santa Museum are the Grinch’s Room, Toy Factory, Santa’s Bedroom, and the Balay Belen. Aside from the beautiful displays, the museum is also a great place to educate your children about our rich Christmas traditions.
Casa Santa Museum is located inside the Jardin de Miramar Events Venue at 276 San Jose Ext., San Isidro, Antipolo City. The admission rate is at Php 325/head. They are also accepting private group tours, by reservation only. For more information, you can visit their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/casasantamuseum/
