Tips & Advice
- Book online early to choose a date and time and get the discounted package price; walk-ins are accepted, but waits aren't guaranteed.
- Arrive no more than five minutes before your scheduled visit, then check in with the Greeter for staff guidance.
- If anyone in your party has illness symptoms, don't bring them; reschedule at least two hours before your visit to avoid a no-show.
- If you need to change your reservation, do it online at least two hours ahead; changes cost $3 and depend on slot availability.
- For children under two, bring an adult who can remain responsible for their physical care; they may not be handed directly to Santa.
