While some Christmas classics are here to stay, unique, one-time activities like tic-tac-toe are replaced with brand new activities every year. Santa will capture the traditions of Christmas but also include brand new fun and games. He's been hard at work since last Christmas, and he's got some new tricks up his sleeve for all the children who visit this year!
Featuring new fun & games for 2024 along with last year’s favorites!
The Importance of Christmas
We believe that Christmastime creates core memories for children: the love of family, the spirit of giving, the sense of wonder that Santa brings, and the belief that anything is possible. To believe in Santa is to believe that the world is a place of kindness and goodness and generosity, a place of wonder and adventure and endless potential. These foundational beliefs are a north star, a beacon that helps us find our way and always remember what’s truly important in life.
And yet so many children’s only exposure to “Santa” is at a shopping mall or photography studio, where they’re posed and told to smile and asked what presents they want. Christmas is so much more than that!
At Santa’s Cabin, we strive to capture the true spirit of Christmas. Santa will welcome you into his home, where he’ll tell stories, ask questions, play games, and let your children know he cares for them, believes in them, and is proud of all the wonderful things they’ve been doing—core memories they’ll carry with them for the rest of their lives.
Inside Santa’s Cabin
Three Types of Experiences
OVERVIEW
-
Our most affordable experience offers 10 minutes with Santa while parents take their own photos and videos with their own camera. Santa will know your children by name when they enter, and he may even know one special fact about each of them. Your children will get to experience some of the fun new activities Santa has in store for this year, and before you go, Santa will present each of your children with one of his "magic" sleigh bells.
-
Our Classic Experience is the Christmas tradition your family will remember forever. Your children will enjoy all the fun and games Santa has planned for this year, including some brand new activities for 2024. Santa will have a full five minutes to prepare for each family, so he’ll know all about your children before they arrive and he’ll amaze them with how closely he’s been paying attention to the wonderful things they’ve been doing this year. Though you’re welcome to take your own photos and videos, you’ll be able to sit back and cherish the moment as our professional photographer captures 7+ high quality digital images during your visit. In addition to a “magic” bell from Santa’s sleigh, your children will receive a special keepsake from inside Santa’s Cabin.

This 30-minute visit includes all the magic of our Classic Experience, but just before you say goodbye, disaster strikes! Santa needs your help! You’ll work together to solve age-appropriate puzzles and create a magical craft for each child to restore Christmas spirit. Our photographer will deliver a total of 10+ digital photos to forever remember the day your children helped Santa save Christmas!

What’s in Santa’s Cabin?
The cabin is Santa’s home away from home, a standalone, one-room cabin bursting with Christmas spirit. It’s one of the many checkpoints around the world where Santa stops to rest and feed his reindeer during his flight on Christmas Eve. As such, it’s furnished with a toy workshop, a map of the world, reindeer bells, a train and model Christmas village to remind Santa of home, an antique phone line straight to the North Pole, a vintage typewriter to tell the elves what toys to build, and of course, a Christmas tree, fireplace, and cozy red chair.
Each nook and corner of Santa’s Cabin is imbued with story, so no two visits are exactly alike. Ask Santa about the painting above his fireplace, and he’ll tell you about the very first Christmas Eve when he, as a small boy, met two baby reindeer named Donner and Blitzen. Ask Santa about the elves, and he’ll tell you about the mischief they’ve been making, and he’ll enlist your children to keep a close eye on them and report back promptly about any silly elf mischief they see.
Best of all, when you book a Classic or Deluxe experience, you’ll take a piece of Santa’s Cabin home with you. Hidden somewhere within the cabin is a very special item Santa will allow your children to keep so that they can remember their visit forever.
