Tips & Advice

  • Register as soon as registration opens on November 1, because there are no walk-ups and the morning Breakfast with Santa has already filled.
  • Pack a few non-perishable food items to drop in the CROSS Food Bin, so your family can share with others while you enjoy lunch.
  • Be sure of your plans before you buy, since tickets are non-refundable and you cannot just show up and pay on the day.
  • Have the kids bring their wish lists along, since Santa and Mrs. Claus greet every guest and want to hear what is on them.
  • Leave time to wander the Community Center after lunch, where games and craft stations are set up throughout the building and included in your ticket.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Breakfast with Santa runs earlier the same day as a separate ticketed event, and it is already full.
