Yes, you can bring your pet into the Town Center Plaza location any weekday between November 21st and December 16th. Appointments are required. Scheduled sessions allow us the opportunity to prepare for you in advance. When you arrive, please meet our staff at the door and let them know you have a pet. We may request that your pet wait outside until their turn. All pets are welcome but must be secured on a leash, in a carrier or held by the owner at all times. For everyone’s safety, please do not bring your pet if they have a history of biting or aggression with people or other animals.

If you are seeing Santa separately or together it is best to book different appointments to make sure Santa is able to spend quality time with each child. Appointments are scheduled in 5 min increments so most likely you can see Santa close together.

Each session will last between three and five minutes. Appointments are scheduled in 5 min increments. This will give your little one(s) time to interact with Santa. The closer to Christmas the busier Santa gets and is not able to spend as much time with each child.

Your child can bring a wish list to share with Santa. Santa may show them pictures from our Christmas book. You can even bring their Elf On The Shelf for a few photos.

You can dress your child up in their Christmas best, pile on the hats and mittens or come in Christmas pajamas.

You want Santa to be a good experience for your child and help them over any anxiety they may have. The key to overcoming Santa-induced stress is talking about what to expect. Explaining and describing what Santa looks like, and telling them that they don’t have to go up alone can help them feel prepared. It’s important to make it clear that if they get in the studio and change their mind, that’s OK. If a child wants to be nowhere near Santa, let them know there are other ways to get in touch with Santa such as writing a letter or draw a picture. Be sure to let your children know Santa will still get the message.

Peek A Boo Santa Sessions work great for children that are scared and want to be nowhere near Santa. Click on the OPTIONS tab at the top of this site for sample photos and more information about our optional Peek A Boo Santa experience.
