A private Santa visit at The Dunham Barn: families check in with the elves, do a festive craft, make reindeer food for Christmas Eve, then have their own unhurried time with Santa. Children get an invitation and a thank-you letter from Santa, and you can take your own photos. A slot takes up to six people, and parking is free.
