About This Adventure
Experience a magical visit with Santa, where kids of all ages can share their wishes in a cozy setting. Enjoy a relaxed atmosphere with loved ones while minimizing wait times. Each booking allows for a memorable interaction, making this a delightful holiday tradition for families.
Duration
A booking of 6-10 kids will be about 5-10 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
Book Early to Secure Your Spot
Sessions fill quickly during peak holiday times; reserving ahead ensures your group’s visit without delay.
Arrive on Time
Your booked time is your arrival window—not a guaranteed start time, so punctuality helps keep lines manageable.
Include Only Kids in the Count
Only children interacting with Santa should be counted in your booking to avoid confusion and delays.
