Helpful Tips When Visiting Santa
- Santa is in his workshop from 10 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday-Friday and from 9:30 a.m. - 5 p.m. Saturday and Sunday.
- Each afternoon, Santa takes a break to feed his reindeer. The time varies because Santa sees everyone in line before he leaves, so the line closes for a time. Generally, this happens between noon and 1 p.m. every day.
- Saturday and Sunday afternoons are Santa’s busiest times, and we often close the line as early as 3 p.m. to accommodate all guests by 5 p.m., when the museum closes.
- Weekday afternoons can be the best times to visit Santa, when he may have more time to spend with each child.
