What to Bring

- Signed Liability Waiver – available on MOA website and will be available at check-in before your visit.

Booking Fee
Your booking fee and tax paid, minus the online processing fee will be credited towards your purchase after your visit with Santa.
Additional Information
Your booking time is your arrival time, not an exact reservation, but it mitigates the dreaded long Santa line. 😁 There may be a wait (up to 30 minutes) to see Santa after you arrive. Please bring loved ones you enjoy spending time with. 😁
