- Come in through Level 2 of the Red Deck, the recommended entrance for Santa's set in front of Bloomingdale's on the Mall Level.

- Walk-ups are welcome every day until closing, so you can still stop by without a reservation if your plans come together last minute.
- Families of children with special needs should reserve the Caring Santa session on December 6, a private sensory-friendly visit that needs only one reservation per family.
