There are usually activities in the community center gym for kids to do while waiting their turn to visit Santa. It's helpful to pre-register your visit, but not required.

This event will, of course, have Santa around to meet the little ones as well as carriage rides through the 1880s village, beautiful decorations, and bustling shops to peruse.
