About This Adventure
Experience a magical visit with Santa, where kids of all ages can share their wishes in a cozy, intimate setting. Enjoy a shorter wait time and the company of loved ones as you create unforgettable memories. Each booking ensures a personalized encounter, making this holiday tradition truly special.
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. 😁
Adventure Tips
Arrive On Time
Your booking time is your arrival window; arriving promptly helps reduce wait and keeps the schedule flowing smoothly.
Come Prepared for Some Waiting
Though wait times are shorter, expect up to 30 minutes after arrival; bring loved ones to enjoy the moment with you.
Limit Participant Count
Only kids interacting with Santa count in the booking; adults and family supporters don’t need to be included.
Keep Visits Relaxed
Session times allow for meaningful interaction but stay flexible—sometimes visits run longer or shorter depending on the kids.
