This Santa is one of our favorites! Head to the Tanenbaum Forest to visit Santa, see all of the amazing trees, and take part in the wonderful activities!!

He will be bringing one of his reindeer to visit on December 11th from 1 pm-4 pm so long as the weather is good. You can also catch Santa for some cookies and stories at Hotel Millwright on December 4th and December 18th at 2 pm. Plus, if you can use our Direct-to-Santa Mailbox inside Tannenbaum Forest to make sure he gets your letter before Christmas.
