At the top of every kid’s list of holiday activities is a visit with Santa. They’ve made their wish lists and need some face time with the Big Man to present their case for getting everything they want. While Santa will be making appearances all over the city for seasonal photo ops, meeting him at Macy’s Santaland is one of the most special holiday experiences around. The eighth floor of Macy’s Herald Square is transformed into a winter wonderland throughout the holiday season, with twinkling lights, enchanting exhibits, Santa’s workshop and more festive features. Make your reservations now for a visit to Santaland for a magical experience (and some very special one-on-one time with Santa) the kids won’t forget.
