Tips & Advice

  • Reserve through OpenTable and pick one of the three morning seatings, because the Magical Tea is a seated experience.
  • Avoid November 29 if you want the Lowell High School Choir and the Santa photo in the lobby, since neither is on that date.
  • Choose the Bubbles option when you book if any adults in your group are 21 or over and want bubbly with their tea.
  • Leave time for cookie decorating, face painting and the balloon artist. The room stays open into the early afternoon after the last seating.
