Join us in the fascinating lore of Krampus, a half-goat, half-demon figure from Central European legends known for punishing misbehaving children during Christmastime. He’s the mischievous counterpart to St. Nicholas, originating from Germany—his name coming from the German word “Krampen,” meaning "claw."
With roots in ancient pagan winter solstice rituals, Krampus is said to be the son of Hel, the Norse goddess of the underworld. When Christianity spread, Krampus stuck around in the holiday celebrations, even when the Catholic Church tried to ban him! Legend has it he appears on the evening of December 5 (Krampusnacht—“Krampus Night”), arriving alongside St. Nicholas. While St. Nicholas rewards the nice children with gifts, Krampus takes a more devilish approach, punishing the naughty ones with branches, and in some tales, he even takes them away!
On December 6, St. Nicholas Day, children awaken to discover their gifts—or nurse their “injuries.” Ready for a unique and thrilling experience? Come meet Krampus and create memories that will last a lifetime! 👹
These expeiences attract people of ALL AGES!
