Ho, Ho, Hurry! Book Your Santa Photos in South Florida

Getting photos with Santa at the mall is a timeless tradition, and the perfect way to celebrate the holiday season. No lines, no fuss. Just friendly staff, a jolly Santa, and the most heartwarming photos to capture the moment!

The closer we get to Christmas, the busier photos with Santa events get.

It can be hard enough to get a good photo with Santa with kids – with nap time, meal times, and sometimes fear of strangers, parents never know what to expect with Santa pictures. 

While no one can promise your kids won’t cry, being able to schedule it around the best time for your kids will give you the best chance!

Phone call from Santa

Once you book you appointment, you’ll have the opportunity to schedule a phone call from Santa to invite your children to visit him. The call is a pre-recorded call on which you can personalize a few options.

You can set it to call right away, or pick a time and date to receive the call. It’s just one of the free extras that come with the photo packages.

And that’s it! Hurry over to whereissanta.com and book your visit now, because this is one tradition you don’t want to miss!

Visits are FREE with Santa

It’s also important to note that you can visit with Santa at these locations without getting photos! Kids are always welcome to walk up and just talk to Santa with no charge. You only pay if you want photos taken (parents aren’t permitted to take their own photos).

If you have toddlers who are unsure about visiting with Santa, this is a GREAT way to introduce them to Santa without the pressure of getting a perfect photo. They can stay as far away as they want, or talk to him from the comfort of your arms.

If you aren’t sure how your child will do with Santa, take him for a visit before you book a package. For the very timid child, it may work better if you just “happen upon” Santa at the mall and suggest a quick visit to say hi.
