About This Adventure
Experience a magical visit with Santa, tailored for 11-15 kids in a cozy setting where wishes come to life. Enjoy quality time together, with no need to count non-participating family members. Arrive at your scheduled time and skip the long lines, creating unforgettable holiday memories with loved ones.
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. 😁
