Santa’s not the only one who’s been making his list and checking it twice. Your kid has been crafting the perfect catalog of wishes since September and they would like to take their time going over the specifics with the big man. Or maybe, you have a little who takes a beat to warm up to people, especially when visiting with a jolly old elf in a red suit. Either way, the Signature Santa Experience at The Shops at Riverside will let your kids spend quality time with the man of the hour himself and start your holiday season off on the right foot.
The Signature Santa Experience is a personalized and extended visit with Santa and The Shops at Riverside is the only Bergen County location to offer this event this season. When you book the Signature Santa Experience, your child or children will enjoy a 15-minute, extended visit with Santa. Santa will kick off the visit with a personalized phone call prior to your visit. Once there, you’ll receive 9 photo prints of memories (Photo Package A), but Santa’s official photographer will take additional posed and candid digital photos during the visit. Santa will read your child a special story and then make time for a heartfelt chat with them. Plus, at the end of the visit, you’ll receive a Holiday Take-home Craft Kit and a beautiful 5x7 photo frame to commemorate your special start to the season. The festivities continue with a post-visit video message from Santa, also personalized for your child. Both the phone call and the video message are powered by Portable North Pole.
Traditional Santa visits and photo packages are also available starting Friday, November 17th and running through Sunday, December 24th. The Signature Santa Experience package is $149.99 and is available with a reservation Monday – Friday starting Friday, November 17th through Friday, December 15th . Extended visits are denoted with gold buttons on the reservations website. Please note that for traditional visits, multiple families will be seen by Santa during each 15-minute session.
Santa is located on Level 2 near AMC Theatres. He’s said that there are a record number of kids on the “nice” list this year and he can’t wait to meet yours. So start ironing those adorable outfits or coordinating those jammies! Then reserve your preferred time slot to visit with the man with the bag.
