Santa Paws
Santa Claus sets up shop at his Post Office in The Battery Atlanta for special pet-friendly visits. Guests bring their furry friends to pose for photos with Santa using their own cameras. If there is a line upon arrival, visitors can join a waitlist and explore nearby shops and dining until receiving a text notification to return.
Dec 3 – Dec 17, 2026 FREE.

- If a line has formed, give the elves your phone number at check-in so you can explore while waiting for a return text.
- Use public parking decks for the stated two hours of free parking, and be aware event-day parking rates will be in effect.
- Bring pets only on Santa Paws dates, because pets are not permitted at Santa's Post Office on other days.

- Santa Paws is offered on three special dates.
- A contactless experience is available as needed.
