About This Adventure
Experience the magic of a personalized visit with Santa, where kids of all ages can share their wishes in an intimate setting. Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with loved ones, minimizing long lines and creating memorable moments. Each booking ensures a delightful encounter, making holiday memories that last a lifetime.
Duration
A booking of 11-15 kids will be about 10-15 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. 😁
Adventure Tips
Arrive Early
Your booking time is your arrival window, so arriving a few minutes early helps reduce any waiting time.
Book for Kids Only
Include just the children who will actively visit Santa to keep the group size accurate and the visit smooth.
Prepare for Weather
Dress kids warmly and comfortably, as Minnesota winter weather can be cold even indoors during holiday events.
Bring Loved Ones
Family members not visiting Santa can join to keep children calm but don’t count towards booking numbers.
