About Once Upon An Island

Once Upon An Island is a special business located in Southern California that offers daily character experiences and styling services for children. The venue is famous for its Mermaid Transformation Experience and Princess Transformation Experience, where children can become mermaids or princesses, with salon makeovers and dress-up in gowns and mermaid tails. Visitors can enjoy tea with their favorite characters and take part in pirate experiences. Recently, the location has added exciting holiday experiences, including a VIP 30-minute Christmas Santa experience that transforms the holiday season into a magical event. Guests are greeted by adorable elves and walk through an amazing portal into the North Pole, where they meet a talking reindeer and Santa himself, engaging in crafts, chatting, and playing among beautiful decorations, lights, and music. The decor creates a real-life North Pole atmosphere, making it a highly recommended holiday activity. The venue also hosts birthday parties, with children enjoying fun experiences like Mermaid Luna giving mermaid makeovers despite weather challenges, and kids smiling happily during character visits. Overall, Once Upon An Island continues to provide magical, memorable experiences for children and their families.

We LOVED this place. Took our 3 year old daughter and Mermaid Kelp made it such a magical experience for her. We were only in town for a short vacation, but this was definitely the highlight of our trip. We will 100% be back next time we are in town. We did the signature mermaid experience and it was worth every penny. Can’t wait to bring her back and do it all again. Thank you for the lasting memories and making our last day of vacation so special 😊💗
