Where To See Santa In 2020 & Have Your Photo Taken With Him

You better watch out, you better not cry. You better not pout, we’re telling you why, MHOTC has inside intel on Santa. Here’s where you can take the kids to share their gift wishes with the jolly man himself. While some visits are free (notably Bass Pro Shops and Cabelas), most require you to buy a photo package to reserve a spot, and Mom and Dad aren’t allowed to snap personal photos.

This year, expect contactless and touch-free visits. Reservations are a must in 2020. Be sure to note if there are any additional safety protocols. Likely you and the kids will need to wear a mask.

We’ll continue to update the map as the Chief Scheduling Elf sends us more information, so check back often. If you hear of any special appearances by Santa, please email Laura@milehighonthecheap.com with details.

To use our map, simply move your mouse over the location to find the Santa nearest you.
