FAQs:

1. Do we get to take photos with Santa?

Not officially but you can take selfies from your car. Santa will be sitting in his sleigh talking and waving to everyone driving by. If you want to take official photos with Santa, he will be in the Santa Village after the event and appointments are encouraged.

2. Will there be breakfast included?

Not this year. We are doing our best to follow social distancing and minimizing touch/contact with guests.

3. How long will the wait be?

This really depends on the turn out, but the entire experience is designed to be efficient so we can see as many cars as possible. We estimate the drive through experience to an average of 6 minutes per car including photography.

4. Will there be entertainment?

The characters will walk around to interact with the cars in the waiting area.

5. Will there be giveaways?

Yes! While supplies last! We will have coloring books and tumblers that are all going to be opened straight from their boxes. The staff will safely distribute them while wearing gloves.

6. How will your staff practice safety?

The temperatures of each staff, character, and volunteer will be checked before they start their shift. Hand sanitizers will be in place and all staff will wear face coverings during set up and during the event.

7. Where will the event be held?

The event will be in the Cinemark Parking Lot (near Leapwood Ave.). A map will be emailed to all the attendees on where to enter. There willl only be one entrance and a separate waiting area for those that did not RSVP.

8. How will I receive my photo from the event?

Pictures will be taken by Photo Makers of each car that enters the tent. A link to download the pictures will be emailed to all the attendees a few days after the event.
