About This Adventure
Experience a magical visit with Santa that allows kids of all ages to share their wishes in a cozy, intimate setting. Enjoy the company of family while minimizing wait times, making this holiday tradition both memorable and stress-free. Capture the joy with photos after your special interaction!
##Duration A booking of 1-5 kids will be about 3-5 minutes long depending on the ages, number of kids and/or how the visit is going. Sometimes longer, sometimes less, but plenty of time for wishes to be heard.
##Booking Tip Those that are attending (ex. Mom, Dad, teenager that is too cool, Grandpa, Grandma, cousin Eddie), but not sitting to visit with Santa do not need to be included in the Number of "Kids" count. Just those "kids" (ages 0-99) interacting with Santa before photos.
##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. 😁
