Santa's Visitation Schedule

While you are at WinterFest, 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. Santa's line will be cut-off when all the numbers have been handed out to adhere to the closing time.

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