Legendary Santa

Legendary Santa and the lovely Snow Queen have been delighting families since 1936. It all started on the 7 th floor of the historic Miller & Rhoads department store and now 25,000 children and families head to the Children’s Museum of Richmond to continue, or start, their family tradition. Here are some tips for getting the most out of the day.

We are delighted to have the opportunity to offer in-person visits with Legendary Santa for the 2023 season. Legendary Santa visits must be reserved in advance through tickets available for purchase on our website starting on October 16, 2023 for Children’s Museum members and November 1, 2023 for non-members.

Everyone becomes a believer when they listen for the sleigh bells and see Santa’s feet appear in the chimney. Adults turn into children again when Santa cries out “Merry Christmas!” after his ceremonial decent. When it is your turn to walk onto the stage, you are first greeted by the Snow Queen who gives a Snowflake of Courage to Santa’s smallest visitors. Eyes widen and jaws drop when Legendary Santa leans from his green and gold throne to call each child by name to come tell him what they want for Christmas.

An emailed professional photo is included with the Legendary Santa ticket; additional packages are also available for purchase. Please note, no flash photography is permitted inside Santa Land.

Admission to the Children's Museum is not included with the Legendary Santa visit.

The Best Places to See Santa in Richmond

I've rounded up the best spots around Richmond to snap a picture with Santa this November and December. From paid experiences at our shopping malls and our restaurants to locations with free Santa meet-and-greets, my guide has something that will work for every family! Some of these locations even offer brunch or treats with Santa, and, at the time of making this guide, all restaurants still had availability.

The best places around Richmond to take pictures with Santa:

Art Factory Play Place: Located in Brandermill, Art Factory is a play space for kids ages 0-5. It’s open Monday through Friday from 9-3 and Saturday 9-12. The cafe sells hot & cold beverages, baked goods and snacks. They also host Preschool

Santa and Mrs. Claus will be available for photos with children on the mornings of December 19 and 20. They are also hosting an evening experience where children can interact with both Santa and Mrs. Claus, listen to them tell stories, sign songs and chat about the North Pole. For ticket information, visit The Art Factory's website .

*Check here for my full review .

Bass Pro: Located in Ashland, Bass Pro is a fishing, hunting & outdoor store. We love to visit it because the entire store is themed for the outdoors: there a giant tree, a massive aquarium, a stream, pretend animals & an old fashion store. It reminds me of Walt Disney's Wilderness Lodge, too.

Santa's Winter Wonderland is open from November 5 – December 24, 2022, and it's free to visit. Your free visit with Santa also includes a free picture with Santa. You have the opportunity to purchase digitals or more pictures if you want. Sign up on Bass Pro's website here . We visited on a week night, and we signed up on the spot. My littles got to spend at least 10 minutes with Santa because there was no one else there, too. This was a great experience for us!

Brambly Park's Santa in the Park: Located in Scott's Addition, this urban winery hosts Santa each year, and you can join in the festive fun on Saturday, December 17 from 12-3:30pm. You can make Santa Brunch reservations online, or you can call (804)406-5611 and note "Santa Brunch" when making reservations.

You can have your photo taken for $25 (one digital image) by the resident photographer Mike Guyer, and children can bring notes to place in Santa's bag, too!

Cabelas: This is one of our favorite spots to greet Santa - this was our third year! Cabela's Santa’s Wonderland has free visits & pictures with Santa until December 24. My little ones enjoyed being able to look at Santa before going to meet him, they didn’t mind the separation from Santa on the bench, and they loved playing with the linking logs! We always visit the giant fish tank, and check out the "animals," the ATVs and boats around the store when we visit, too.

Similar to Bass Pro, Cabela's Winter Wonderland is open from November 5– December 24, 2022, and it's free to visit. Your free visit with Santa also includes a free picture with Santa. You have the opportunity to purchase digitals or more pictures if you want. Sign up on Cabela's website here .

Coco and Hazel: This locally owned treat spot has two locations, one in Tuckahoe and one in Bon Air. Coco and Hazel serves over the top milkshakes and loaded hot chocolate, as well as breakfast options.

While "Cookies with Santa" has sold out, Santa -- and the Grinch! -- will be dropping in to the Tuckahoe location for 2 nights in December (dates not released yet). It costs $10 per family, and you can take your own pictures. You can't purchase tickets until the day of the event at the register.

*Check here for my review .

Children's Museum of Richmond: This museum has been a favorite of families in Richmond since 1981. The Children's Museum is designed for children 0-8 & it has exhibits for interactive & imaginative play, learning & creating. Children can play in the dairy barn, a service station, ride a carousel & more.

Legendary Santa will be at the museum from Friday, November 25 to Saturday, December 24. You need to make your reservations ahead of time, and it costs $30 for a family of up to 6. The ticket includes a digital photo, with additional photo package purchases available. Tickets do not include a visit to the museum.

Sensitive Legendary Santa will be on Wednesday, November 30, Friday, December 2, and Thursday, December 8. This event is for families with sensory or other special needs. Registrations opens November 15.

The Great Big Green House: This locally owned nursery is in Huguenot Village Shopping Center. We love Great Big Green House because they are so family-family & host many events throughout the year.

Santa will be at The Great Big Greenhouse on Friday, November 18 (5-8pm), Saturday, November 19 (10am-2pm), Sunday, November 20 (noon-4pm), Saturday, December 3 (10am-2pm), Sunday, December 4 (noon-4pm), Saturday, December 10 (10am-2pm), Sunday, December 11 (noon-4pm), Saturday, December 17 (10am-2pm), and Sunday, December 18 (noon-4pm). Bring your own camera to take pictures! This is a free activity. No reservations or tickets required. Pets are welcome too!

River City 3 Railers sets up an elaborate model train display, and the trains will be there starting Friday, December 3. Usually, you can watch it in operation from 4-7pm during the week and 11-2 on weekends (these times sometimes change).

Hardywood West Creek's Smile With Santa: This family friendly brewery has 24 acres next to the peaceful Tuckahoe Creek, and the outdoor space has a lawn, a large concrete patio, a natural play area with swings, a see saw and hammocks, plus there are two regulation-sized bocce courts!

Santa will be at Hardywood West Creek on December 11 and December 17. Tickets usually cost around $30. Tickets include two drink tickets (you can get nonalcoholic too), the chance to sit and talk with Santa, and a digital picture with Santa. There will also be food trucks on property too!

*Santa will also be at the Richmond location on December 3.

Santa Brunch & Santa Dinner at Lewis Ginter Botanical Garden: While Lewis Ginter is best known for GardenFest each winter, it also hosts Santa Brunch and Santa Dinner. These meals are served family-style and on a buffet. Bring your camera to snap pictures with Santa!

The breakfast experiences are on Saturdays and Sundays in December. Brunch costs $53 per person, $36 for children (3-12), and children 2 & under eat free. The dinner experiences are on December 18-20. Dinner costs $68 per person, $43 for children (3-12), and children 2 & under eat free. This price includes admission to the garden, and dinner reservations include Garden Fest.

As of compiling this list, Lewis Ginter still has availability for breakfast at 9am on a few Saturdays and Sundays. Dinner reservations are still available for 7pm.

Short Pump Mall: Every year this local mall decorates for Christmas with a 60 foot walk-through tree. This year's tree lighting is November 18 from 6-8pm, and Santa will be there!

Santa will be at the mall from then until December 24. Children will also have the opportunity to have their picture taken with Santa or to participate in a "socially distant" Santa experience. Santa will be in the Pal's Clubhouse , next to LL Bean. Reservations are strongly encouraged.

Stony Point Fashion Park: This local mall decks its halls every year for Christmas, and the annual tree lighting event is on Saturday, November 19th from 5-7pm. Stony Point has an ice skating rink, snow falling during the week, a play area, horse drawn carriage rides, and falling snow!

Santa will be at the mall from November 19 through December 24. Sensory Friendly Santa Magic is also available. Registration links aren't available yet!

*Check here for my 2020 review .

The Red Barn Farm's Cookies with Santa: Located in Dinwiddie, this local farm hosts Cookies with Santa on November 19-20, November 25-27 and December 3-4 from 10am-3pm each day. Children can see the real Santa in his workshop, decorate their own cookies and feed the animals. The Gingerbread Man, Abominable Snowman, and the Grinch will also make appearances.

Call (804)536-6879 to reserve a spot. Bring your camera to take pictures. Cookies with Santa costs $8 per person (2 years and older). Animal feed buckets cost $3.

Tom Leonard's: This locally owned farmer's market hosts Santa each year in their Christmas Shoppe. While Tom Leonard's hasn't released the dates of Santa's visits this year, he is usually at the store on Saturdays and Sundays in December from 10am to 2pm. They also sell Christmas trees outside the market in the same area that Friday Night at the Pumpkin Patch is hosted.

*Check here for our visit at Halloween .

Upper Shirley's Santa Brunch: Upper Shirley Vineyard usually hosts a Santa Brunch on the two weekends prior to Christmas. While they haven't released dates for December 2022, Santa Brunch was on December 11 & 12 and December 18 & 19 from 11-4pm in 2021.

Children get to sit on Santa's lap, and you can get unlimited pictures with him with no extra costs (bring your own camera!). Call (804)829-9463 to make your reservations for brunch and make sure you reserve a time between 11 and 3pm.

*Check here for my review of Upper Shirley.

Some of the most popular Santa experiences fill up prior to November. Save these activities for next year: Crozet Trolley's The North Pole Express , The Jefferson's Santa Brunch and Santa Tea, and Coco & Hazel's Ice Cream with Santa .

Macy's Santaland 2023: Everything you need to know

Allie Early

The eighth floor of Macy’s Herald Square is transformed into a winter wonderland throughout the holiday season, with twinkling lights, enchanting exhibits, Santa’s workshop and more festive features.

Reservations required: How to visit Santaland at Macy’s on 34th Street in 2023

Summer Hull

For many families, the most wonderful time of the year isn't complete without a visit to the big man in red. And one of the best spots in the U.S. to see him is at Macy's on 34th Street in New York City.

Santa Claus officially arrives at the very end of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade and then sets up shop in New York City for the next few weeks at Macy's on 34th Street.

visit santa tickets

In the bustling midtown Macy's on 34th, Mr. Claus hangs out in Santaland, a very festive place on the eighth floor of the store that feels like the North Pole. But while Santa and his elves will be thrilled to visit with kiddos this year, there are some things to know before you go — including the fact that reservations are required and will likely fill up quickly.

Here's what you need to know to visit Macy's Santaland in 2023.

What is Macy's Santaland in New York City?

visit santa tickets

Santaland at Macy's Herald Square in New York City is a holiday wonderland. You wander through a 13,000-square-foot Christmas village featuring an enchanted forest, a rainbow bridge, trees, lights, snow-capped mountains, reindeer, train sets, Santa's sleigh and oh so much more. More than 170,000 visitors typically make their way through Santaland each year.

visit santa tickets

When you get through Santaland and it's your turn to visit Santa (in a private-ish room), you get a few minutes to chat with him about your holiday wish lists, what the reindeer are up to and more.

There is also time for photos — both with your camera and the official cameras.

How to get a Macy's Santaland reservation

visit santa tickets

Macy's Santaland is free to visit, but Santa is a very popular man. For the last few years, the New York City Santaland experience has required reservations, which remains true in 2023.

You can make free reservations online starting at 6:30 a.m. EST five days before your visit. For the first day Santa is in town for visits on Nov. 24 (the day after Thanksgiving), reservations open early in the morning on Nov. 19 — and they will go quickly, so set an alarm so you don't miss out.

visit santa tickets

The hours vary slightly by day but generally run from morning until around 9 p.m.s. Santa is in town this year from Nov. 24 until the afternoon of Dec. 24, when he has to head back to the North Pole to load his sleigh.

You can make reservations for up to nine people, and Macy's asks that you bring a printout of your reservation with the QR code.

The best time to visit Macy's Santaland

visit santa tickets

Santa is at Santaland from Black Friday through Christmas Eve, giving you almost a month to make your visit. However, some times are better than others. Santaland is usually busiest on Black Friday, on the weekends and in the final days leading up to Christmas.

Note that even with a required reservation, Macy's says it can take 30 to 90 minutes to get to Santa. If you can visit from Monday through Thursday before that final week before Christmas, that's probably your best choice to keep spirits bright and the wait shorter.

visit santa tickets

If you must go during peak times, prepare yourself with potty breaks before getting in line, a loaded electronic device and some patience.

Tips for visiting Macy's Santaland

visit santa tickets

The North Pole may be freezing, but Santaland is often not. Based on my multiple visits, Santaland is actually warm, which seems silly. Those thick coats and sweaters you need outside will make you melt in the long, slow line to Santa, so dress in layers.

A visit to Santa is free, but photo packages aren't. You don't have to buy the official photos, but if you do, they start around $40, and there's another line for that after Santa. Only have one person wait in that line and send the rest of the crew to another less crowded part of Macy's to wait for you.

Macy's wants Santa to appear in the real world as he does in your child's mind, so should you or your child prefer a visit to a Black or Spanish-speaking Santa, just note that on your reservation, or you can usually let the elves know when you arrive.

Those who require special accommodations to visit Santa can also add them to their reservation and then email [email protected]. There are two sensory-friendly early mornings that will be available this season, so check for those when planning your visit.

Bottom line

New York City is especially magical during the holidays , so don't skip Santaland while you are in town. Just be sure to make a free reservation in advance of your visit so you don't miss out on seeing Santa.

how to get this offer

I think you just go to bed on Christmas Eve and he just shows up. You might have to live in a first world and/or Christian country, though. I haven’t tested that theory.

River oaks golf course in Cottage Grove has a Santa breakfast!

Thank you, Jess. We will look into this and get it added.

FYI, I think the Caring Santa and the Bedtime Santa descriptions and links are mixed up.

Thanks for catching that, Kristen! I had to laugh thinking Caring Santa would have been fine with pajamas, too! 🙂

Accessibility

Visitors with impaired movement or in a wheelchair can access the basilica and the cloister via a ramp and a raised platform. The ramp is situated on the north side of the basilica in Largo Bargellini, while the platform is situated at the cloister exit giving onto Piazza Santa Croce. Please note that admission for visitors with disabilities and their carers is free of charge and enjoys priority, with no need to book. Guide-dogs used by visitors with impaired sight or hearing and holding the appropriate certification are welcome.

Many parts of the Santa Croce complex are open to visitors with disabilities, while only a handful of areas suffer from limited access. The nave and aisles of the basilica are easy to move about in, but the chapels in the transept are on a raised level accessed via a few steps which cannot be negotiated with a wheelchair. To visit the Refectory, leave the basilica via the ramp in Largo Bargellini and re-enter the complex via the Arnolfo di Cambio cloister on Piazza Santa Croce.
