Know Before You Go

  • Accessibility: All venues are ADA/AODA compliant.
  • Pets: Service animals are always welcome.

Tips & Advice

  • Book a time slot online, because some dates fill up completely, and reservations on a full date can only be handled as walk-ups at the location.
  • Arrive during your 15-minute window, because each reserved slot is shared with other families and is scheduled that tightly.
  • If you can't decide on a photo package when booking, choose Reserve Now & Decide Later to hold your time and pick a package onsite after the visit.
  • If plans change, reschedule at least 48 hours ahead through your confirmation email, because cancelled reservations are not refunded and all sales are final.
  • Download and save your digital photos to your own device, because they're only kept online for 30 days after the season ends.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Booking online gets you 50% off a Shutterfly order plus 10 free holiday cards.
  • Online reservations include a free personalized video message from Santa before your visit.
