Santa's Visitation Schedule
Be sure to stop by Santa's house to see the "jolly man in red!" Santa Claus will be waiting to hear all boys' and girls' Christmas wishes and Christmas lists.
Numbers will be handed out one half-hour prior to each visitation time period. This number will give you a time to come take your place in line,
allowing you time to enjoy the festival instead of standing in line.

Don't forget your camera as photo services will no longer be available. Please see visitation schedule below.

Santa's line will be cut-off early in order to adhere to the closing time.
