Santa is opening the doors to his workshop in La Vista once again, and you’re invited to join the fun! Stroll through the festive La Vista Wonderland in Central Park, see the reindeer, sip on free hot cocoa, snack on cookies and enjoy holiday activities while you wait to meet Santa.
Check in at the tent and get a pager right away when you arrive for your visit. The Workshop may reach capacity at times—Santa is a popular guy after all. Please be prepared to spend some time outdoors (or in the tent) before entering the building. We suggest dressing warmly so you can enjoy the holiday atmosphere outside the Workshop while waiting.
Bring your camera or phone! There will be lots of photo opportunities inside the workshop and outside in the park. You’re welcome to snap your own photos of your group with Santa when it’s your turn.
Pets are welcome on Saturday, December 13.
Please be aware that December 13 is a pet-friendly event, so you will encounter pets (must be on leashes) outside and inside the tent and workshop. We look forward to seeing your furry, four-legged family members in your holiday photos with Santa. Note: No reindeer will be at the Workshop on this date.
