7 Places to Catch Santa Clause in Orlando

1. The Santa Workshop Experience at ICON Park

Santa brings his workshop to ICON Park from November 5 – December 24, 2022. Guests at the Santa Workshop Experience are welcome to use their cell phones and cameras to take unlimited photos and videos. That way, you can be sure you’ll capture the best holiday moments. Reservations are required and include free covered parking.

2. Winter on the Avenue in Winter Park

Central Park and Park Avenue will transform into a winter wonderland this holiday season. Head to Winter Park, Florida, on December 2, 2022, from 5 – 9 p.m. to see it.

Visitors at Winter on the Avenue can grab hot cocoa and watch the annual tree lighting as they wait to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus. The iconic couple will be available for photos from 6:30 – 8 p.m. during this free outdoor event.

3. Santa’s Cottage at Lake Nona Town Center

Lake Nona Town Center becomes Peppermint Square as Santa and Mrs. Claus get cozy in their cottage near Park Pizza. Photo options are available for purchase, and reservations are strongly encouraged.

4. Santa’s Christmas Tree Forest

Create lasting memories this holiday season at Santa’s Christmas Tree Forest.

This Christmas tree farm in Eustis, Florida, invites guests to take photos with Santa Claus. You can also enjoy activities like a holiday hayride, zip line, and petting zoo. The forest is open on Saturdays and Sundays between November 26 and December 12, 2022. You can get a picture with Kris Kringle from 11 a.m. – 3 p.m. Tickets are required for entry.

5. Wall Crawl

Unique Orlando photo studio Wall Crawl offers meet and greets with Santa from October through December. A one-hour, semi-private session includes 10 different backdrops. This leaves plenty of time for kids to tell Santa what they want for Christmas.

Guests can take their own photos or hire one of Wall Crawl’s professional photographers. In either case, reservations are required.

6. Disney Springs

Disney Springs becomes even more magical this winter. In celebration of the holidays, visitors can enjoy Christmas treats, do their holiday shopping, and get a photo with Santa Claus.

7. Florida Mall and Mall at Millenia
