Christmas House Long Island at Broadway Commons in Hicksville is celebrating local heroes this holiday season by giving police officers, firefighters, nurses, EMTs and teachers free admission.
Those eligible can enjoy the immersive Christmas experience simply by presenting a valid ID at the door.
The festive attraction promises a 45-minute walkthrough of nearly a dozen magical experiences, including the Snow Room, North Pole Movie Theater and Indoor Light Show. Other highlights include a Light Tunnel, Nightmare Before Christmas-inspired hallway, Santa’s Workshop Illusion Room and a Harry Potter-themed room.
“New York’s first responders and educators contribute so much to the community,” said Michael Dessart, President of Christmas House Long Island. “We want them to feel valued and enjoy the holiday magic they help make possible for others.”
