- Dress everyone for the weather, since the line to see Santa forms outdoors before each family goes inside the workshop.
- Have your phone or camera charged and ready, because no professional photos are taken and families capture the visit themselves.
- Visits are a short chat with one family at a time, so have the kids ready to talk to Santa as you step inside.
- Book Pet Night on December 1 if you want the family dog in the picture, or December 9 for Military and First Responders Night.
