Santa South

This was my second time bringing my kids there and I highly recommend Santa South if your looking to bring you child and want to have the most realistic of a visit with Santa at the North Pole that exist. Beats any mall Santa in mymy opinion. My 3 year old was terrified at first and by the time we left she told Santa she would be coming back tomorrow. She is no longer scared of 🎅. The staff is absolutely amazing and so understanding. Any special requests that you may they are able to accommodate to make sure that you and your family have a memorable experience.

Hands down the best Santa experience we've ever had! We did the quick 15 minutes package and that was all we needed for our 7 year old and 2 year old. That gave them ample opportunity to see everything in the shop, get plenty of photos and tell Santa what they wanted for Christmas. We were also able to take our own photos as well, so we'll have TONS from this experience.

Before we even went into the main area to meet Santa, the front waiting room was decorated and had toys for the kids to play with, it smelled like Christmas and Christmas music was playing. It set the mood and built up anticipation.

Both kids had a great time - and so did the adults. It was more than just pictures as they got to meet Santa and chat with him, check out their names on the Nice List, visit his workshop and then get lots of pictures with him and our whole family, as Grandma and Granddaddy came along as well. And I think Santa has a bit of a Naughty side himself, as he joked with my husband and my dad about married life and wives ;) (Nothing inappropriate of course, just silliness, but it made me giggle.)

For those kids who tend to be afraid of Santa, I think this is actually the best way for them to meet him in a more comfortable environment with mom or dad close by, not being forced to just sit on a strange man's lap. They can explore the toys and shop and get to know the old man first and he'll even just take pics around the shop versus the traditional sit-on-the-lap visit.

I highly recommend you spend the money and take advantage of this. We'll be going here from now on for our Christmas photos!

We adore Santa Paul and everything about Santa South! We’ve been visiting Santa at his workshop since 2011 and look forward to our annual visit! Where else can you go to get such a sweet experience with Santa for more than 2 minutes before the next person? The time Santa and his elves spend making your visit special is absolutely priceless and unforgettable! We love you, Santa! See you soon!

Best Santa ever! Been going here since it opened and he is truly the real deal. Makes everyone feel special, classic moments and really unique ones too! We look forward to seeing him every year and the pics are always great! Very affordable and just an amazing place to be. We love Santa South!

Best Santa there is! My girls love him and he makes them feel so comfortable. It’s a real experience getting to visit with him, instead of a 1 minute photo session. We enjoy talking, laughing and taking pics to remember these special moments. He truly has a heart of gold and a huge love for children!
