Santa Only: Is there a way to just see Santa without going through the tour? Not at this time. We created the Children’s Tour for this reason.
The Children’s tour is a self-guided tour with only your family. Offered on Saturdays, November 28-December 12th. The parents receive a brochure that explains the displays. As the children tour the Castle they visit six different Elf stops along the way and receive gifts from each elf. The cost of the child’s ticket equals the gifts the child will receive from the Elves. Including a souvenir photo with Santa, through the magic of the North Pole.
