Highlights of the Holiday Fun

Photos with Santa: Santa will be meeting with children of all ages! Once the little ones feel comfortable, they will have the opportunity to take photos with him and tell him what they’d like for Christmas. Parents, be sure to bring your cameras and snap as many photos as you’d like! (Please note that we do not provide a professional photographer.)

Taste Test Time: Take a break from the holiday hustle and bustle to taste test some delicious cookies!

Santa's Secret Workshop: As in years past, children will be able to shop for their friends and family at a dedicated space just for them. Tickets will be available for purchase for $2 each upon entering the building. Individual gifts each cost 1 ticket and will be professionally wrapped and ready to give! We will be accepting cash and credit/debit card payments this year.
