Tips & Advice
- Watch for the Santa Cop toy drive day, when Santa visits the nursery and takes free photos with kids to help collect toys for children in need.
- If you want fresh wreaths or garland, plan your visit for late November or later, when the nursery's greenery shipment arrives from Oregon.
- Come back even if you went last year, because the trees are themed and stocked with new ornaments so the Christmas House looks different every year.
- If your family does Elf on the Shelf, look for the Elf and its full range of accessories among the gifts in the Christmas House.
