Here's where to get your photo w/ Santa!
If you're looking to continue that yearly tradition of a photo with Santa before Christmas, you probably know it's anything but easy this year. In true 2020 fashion, Santa is in high demand but the traditional photo process is a bit different. From plexiglass dividers to Santa with a mask, we've rounded up a few COVID safe locations hosting photos with Santa before the holiday season is over.
A few things to keep in mind. All locations are requiring for guests to wear masks and some are administering temperature checks. Each location is offering its own COVID safe photo setup with Santa and is recommending that you make a reservation prior to arrival. We have included a specific link for more information and reservations under each location.
