How Your Family Can See Santa

Three guests at a time can take the virtual journey to the North Pole via train where elves act as your guides and lead you through Santaland. Here, you can play fun, interactive games while enjoying the delightful sights of Santa’s village and workshop.

Once you reach your destination, you have a chance to see the big man in red himself. One cool thing about this virtual interaction with Santa Claus is that families can opt to have a more diverse Santa. Here, children have the opportunity to tell Santa what they would like for the holidays before taking a FREE, commemorative photo with him.

While 2020 may have canceled several fun, holiday traditions this year, Macy’s offers an alternative that will definitely brighten your spirits and bring some joy into your home.
