Private (non-public) Christmas Eve Visit (Santa only, no Mrs. Claus) - usually less than thirty minutes total from start to finish. This including parents letting Santa in and giving Santa the presents to put under the tree. Parents wake the children to watch Santa, then Santa makes his exit once children are put back to bed. Santa is "live" for around ten minutes. Typical thirty minute Sneak 'n Peaks are scheduled in-between the hours of 10:00 PM through 2:00 AM.
$150 for a Sneak 'n Peak
In addition to private events/functions, be sure to check Santa's Schedule Page to see what days he's making public appearances you can see him at.
