Before Arrival
-
To make your experience extra special, we ask that you fill out the Elf Report as soon as possible after booking your appointment. This gives Santa some fun details about your child—like their name, age, teacher’s name, Elf on the Shelf, and a recent accomplishment or event. Santa loves having these personal tidbits to share during your visit!
-
We also recommend stopping by the restroom before you arrive. Our charming 1890s Soo Line Caboose doesn't have a bathroom. We'd hate to have your visit cut short if nature calls.
​
Upon Arrival
-
Every visit to Santa's Christmas Caboose is a private, one-on-one experience just for your family. When you arrive, check the color of the caboose's exterior lights:
-
Red lights: Please stay in your vehicle and tune your radio to 103.5 to enjoy stories and jokes from Santa while you wait.
-
Green lights: It's your turn! Feel free to come in and enjoy your time with Santa.
-
-
We ask for a few minutes between visits for Santa to tidy up and reset everything for your family. This way, each visit feels fresh and personal!
​
Time of Event​
-
To make the visit extra magical, please help Santa out with the details. He’s a bit on the older side and sometimes needs a reminder of names and special moments.
-
Santa loves it when you address your child by name during the visit—it adds to the magic!
-
A quick note on touch: As we all know, times have changed, and everyone’s comfort with touch can vary. For younger children, you’ll be asked to lift them onto Santa’s lap. Older children can sit on their own, and everyone is encouraged to join in, even those who may be a little skeptical!
-
Photo time: We want you to capture all the magical moments! Please feel free to take as many photos and videos as you'd like. A few tips to help you get the best shots:
-
Charge your camera and clean your lenses before you arrive.
-
Consider a flash or fill light to make sure you get clear, beautiful photos in the caboose’s cozy lighting.
-
Use a tripod or phone mount (we provide these for your convenience!) for steady shots, though our mount may not fit larger tablets.
-
Take lots of pictures—digital space is plentiful, and those precious moments go by so quickly!
-
-
Santa loves pets too! If you’d like to include your furry friend in the photos, please let Santa know ahead of time. Please bring a lap blanket to keep things neat and cozy. Santa visits with many children that may have allergies, He'd hate to have your pet stay with us for the next visitors.
-
Help Santa stay on time, keep the children together, and respect the next customers about to visit Santa.
​
After The Event
-
We’d love to hear about your experience! Once you’ve made your memories, please consider sharing your visit on social media and tagging us. You can also leave a testimonial on our website at newsantaclaus.com to let others know how special your experience was.
-
If you're comfortable, feel free to send us some of your favorite photos! We’d love to showcase them on our site to inspire other families.
​​​​
Important Reminders!
-
N.E.W. Santa doesn’t believe in the "Naughty List" and will never tell a child they’re on it—he’s all about spreading kindness!
