Question 3

Are the pictures really free?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! A professional photographer will capture your family’s special moment with Santa. Photos will be emailed to you after the event at no cost.

Question 4

Will there be a wait to see Santa?

Accepted Answer

We do our best to keep things moving smoothly, but please note:
The 11 AM to 1 PM windows tends to be the busiest.
Santa spends a few minutes talking with each child or family—so the lines during peak times may move a bit slower. We recommend arriving early or selecting a quieter time if possible.
