Bring your letters to Santa and we will make sure to mail them in plenty of time for Christmas! Sometimes, Santa swings by and grabs the letters himself!
The walking-only events are a great opportunity to stretch your legs, get some fresh air, and grab that family photo or Instagram pic you've been wanting all season! Make sure to ask one of our friendly volunteers to your photo, or feel free to take your time and get the perfect selfie!
