Photos with Santa
Photos with Santa is a thoughtfully paced holiday experience at Ford House, designed for families who want a meaningful moment, a great photo, and a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Each family selects a specific time slot and enjoys a brief private visit with Santa, a freshly baked cookie for each child, and time to capture photos using their own phone or camera.
Visits are intentionally short and personal, allowing every family to enjoy their moment while keeping the experience smooth and relaxed for all guests.
BRING YOUR PHONE OR CAMERA
To keep every family on schedule, we invite guests to take a few quick photos with their own phone or camera. Our team is happy to take a picture for you if you ask, and then we gently move on to the next family so everyone gets their full moment with Santa.
Sensory-Friendly Sessions
Every date begins with a sensory-friendly session during the first hour. The traditional experience begins 1.5 hours into each date, after the sensory-friendly session ends. Times for each date appear in the Sensory-Friendly Sessions section below.
RESERVATIONS REQUIRED
Guests should plan to arrive early to allow time for check-in and any on-site transitions before their scheduled visit. Tickets are limited and advance reservations are required. This event sells out each season.
