What Santa brings

He is not there to be photographed.
He is there to be believed.

  • Time with every child in the room, by name
  • The toy bag, if you provide the gifts
  • Magic tricks, and the patience to do them twice
  • A story you choose, on the hour-long visits
  • Fresh gloves for the babies, every time

Worth knowing

Ask the folks next door. Ask your Sunday school class.

Before you ask

The questions Santa gets most.

Can I invite other families?

Yes, and it is the cheapest way to do this. Extra families are $25 each, per family rather than per child. Splitting the cost between you is something you sort out among yourselves.

How far will Santa travel?

He works out of Sylacauga and gets around Talladega and Coosa counties and beyond. Call him with your address and he will tell you straight away.

Is there anything free?

Santa is out in public 22 times this season. Parades and tree lightings cost nothing to stand and watch; a few of the others are ticketed or need a reservation, and each listing says which. See the list →

Can we take our own photographs?

Please do. Whether Santa Magic may use those pictures anywhere else is a separate question, and you answer it yourself when you book.

Our baby is scared of Santa.

Santa has plenty of advice about that, learned the hard way. Read the guide →

How do I pay?

Cash, check, PayPal, Venmo, Mastercard or Visa, ahead of the visit.
