The best Santa experience you could ask for – by appointment. No lines, no crowds.
Santa by appointment is in West Edmonton Mall. Head to their website here to book a day and time for your family to come have a unique, one on one appointment with Santa. This was especially amazing for us, as my toddler does not stay still in line well, (or at all, actually) and her witching hour is pretty much the entire day. Also, lines are not Mom’s favorite, either.
Not only is the Santa room absolutely magical itself: with a fireplace, Christmas Tree and sled, but Santa himself is fantastic. Great with the kids, and great for photos!
You had me at: No lines. But if you’re still not sold, check out what you get with the private booking:
- One on one time with Santa for up to TEN people per booking time. Ten. Bring your cousins, friends, even Grandma!
- Two photo sheets (see their website for sizes and options on each sheet)
- A USB loaded with every professional photo taken during your session
- Four mini Attractions admissions (valid for Marine Life, Mayfield Toyota Ice Palace, Professor Wem’s Adventure Golf, Dragon’s Tale or Crystal Labyrinth Mirror Maze.) – valid until March!
Plus, of course, a unique and enjoyable Santa experience for the whole family. This is great for younger kids who aren’t patient enough for lines, or children with sensory issues who enjoy a more relaxed atmosphere. It’s also wonderful for parents running on a tight schedule. It can be overwhelming to plan an outing with the kids, not knowing how long you will be standing in line, and rushed on and off to accommodate the line behind you.
I can’t recommend this enough. Santa by Appointment is located across from the entrance to the Sea Lion show, near the boat. We parked near Fantasy Land Hotel.
Santa by Appointment is available for booking right up until Christmas Eve! Don’t forget to save your receipt from this, or any other purchase at West Edmonton Mall and upload a photo of it to the WEM Rewards app: you will be automatically entered to win daily give aways, and get 3x the points on any receipt over $21. Points can be redeemed for a variety of rewards, including FUN PASSES, or gifts of FUN PASSES. More details can be found within the app and on their website.
