The holiday season is here and Central City is the perfect destination for families to make memories together. Whether you’re looking for festive activities, shopping for gifts, giving back to your community, or simply spending time together, there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
One time-honoured tradition is for kids (and sometimes their grown-ups!) to get an annual photo with the big man in red! For the past few years, families have had to search high and low for the best place to capture this special photo, but this year, Central City is bringing back festive fun with the return of Santa!! That’s right, not only can you get all your holiday shopping and holiday hosting errands done in one place, but your kids can have a magical visit with Santa, complete with a keepsake photo to cherish for years to come.
With photos taken by the renowned Old Saint Click, you can be sure that you will get the perfect shot with a happy, friendly Santa framed with gorgeous holiday decor. Each Santa session is 5 minutes in length, providing enough time for your child to whisper their Christmas wishes, but not so long that they get squirrely! Once you’ve got the perfect photo, you can select your photo package right on the spot! Packages begin at $29.99 and all include a digital download so you can share far and wide with family and friends. Make a day out of it and grab lunch in the food court before wrapping up your shopping and errands. It’s a fun-filled activity for your kids and teens and a chance for parents to tick everything off their lists in one convenient spot.
Central City is your destination for festive family fun right up until Christmas! In addition to Santa Photos, Central City will also be hosting a Gingerbread Showdown, Christmas Tree Contest, Stuff the Sleigh Toy Drive, Caroling Performances, and the Charity Gift Wrap Station. Learn more about these fun events by following Central City on Instagram and Facebook. Don’t forget to book your Photos with Santa spot here.
