My family and I had a true Santa experience at The Natick Mall last week! No more waiting in a long line that snakes around the lower level of the mall with kids who are bored and grumpy! You can now make reservations online and walk right up and meet Santa! This is the best thing ever! We all know that small kids have a short window for which they will cooperate and happily say "cheese" for a photo. Well, this should no longer be a concern! You can know make a reservation with Santa online before you head out to the mall at http://www.celebrateyourholiday.com/Reservations/Start. Online, you pick what day and time and what photo package you'd like to purchase (hint: there are even days that are bargain days with less crowds and lower prices!)
When you arrive at the mall (Santa is located on the lower level near Neiman Marcus), head right to Santa's elf at the attendant station and tell them you have a reservation! It's truly as easy as that! The kids walked right up through Santa's Christmas tree where there is a cool light display on the tunnel inside the tree and on to meet Santa. My kids got to tell him everything that is on their wish list as well as ask Santa some questions about himself! Santa was friendly and funny and had my kids smiling big even before the camera came out!
Santa's elf then took many photos of my kids with Santa, in some different poses and some with silly faces to be sure we captured a few good ones! As soon as the photos were done we stepped over to a computer screen to look at all the smiles! :) We picked our favorite pose for the print outs, but our photo package also includes all of the photos digitally! The print outs were handed to us almost immediately, and the digital copies were emailed to me in about 12 hours.
Upcoming special events with Santa:
- December 4th 5-8 pm - Pet Night
- December 8th 5-8 pm - Pajama Night
- December 11th 5-8 pm - Pet Night
- December 18th 5-8 pm - Pet Night
So bring your kids and pets down to The Natick Mall for a true Santa Photo experience with no hassle! Don't forget to make reservations ahead of time!
