SANTA PHOTOS, November 9 – December 24

Santa will be at Cross County Shopping Center for photos with children of all ages – including pets!  Visits are FREE and each child who visits with Santa receives a gift and candy cane. NEW in 2019, guests can make a “Fast Pass Reservation” for greater flexibility in visiting Santa. Reservations are not required but recommended.  (Santa’s Fast Pass is a third-party reservation platform utilized by Cherry Hill Programs, the photo provider at Santa’s house, for advanced reservations, pre-purchased photo packages and merchandise sales. By purchasing a Fast Pass, the customer is locking in an arrival time for their visit with Santa and is greeted through a dedicated reservation line.) Fast pass reservation includes a convenience fee starting at $4.95, based on demand. Santa’s Village is located between Gap and Bath & Body Works.
