This December, Krampus storms the Christkindlmarket Chicago for a one-of-a-kind holiday celebration rooted in German folklore. Step into the transformed Timber Haus, now the Haus of Krampus, a moody alpine escape filled with music, treats, and mischievous magic.
Inside, guests can meet Krampus himself for unforgettable photo opportunities, cheeky antics, and a touch of holiday mayhem. Snap a picture at one of three immersive stations, but be on your best behavior. With more than one Krampus lurking, no one escapes their watchful eye. If you step out of line, you might just end up in his burlap sack!
Your ticket includes 75-minutes in the Haus of Krampus, one festive beverage such as beer, soda, or water, one warm Bavarian pretzel from a Christkindlmarket vendor, and one keepsake printed photo of you and Krampus to take a piece of the legend home with you. Guests may leave and return to the market during their time slot, but reentry to the Haus is only allowed within your booked window.
Want to take Krampus home? Add a brand-new Krampus stuffed toy to your ticket for an extra dose of mischief. Plus, browse 2025 Christkindlmarket souvenir mugs and festive merchandise available right inside the event space, perfect for collecting or gifting.
Tickets are limited so secure yours now and experience the thrill of Krampus like never before.
