Tips & Advice
- For the arrival, use the Friday 6–9 p.m. window; the weekend Santa hours apply to later visits, not the welcome event.
- Choose a Saturday visit for 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., or Sunday for 1 to 4 p.m., matching Santa’s listed visiting hours.
- If you cannot attend the arrival, plan a separate weekend visit; Santa is available on weekends through December 20.
- Head to Pennypickle’s Workshop in Old Town for the cottage welcome; the city lists it as the location for Santa’s Arrival.
