Best Christmas Lights in the Triangle
The professional photos with Santa are free with admission. A photo with Santa, with a watermark, will be emailed to you, at no extra charge. For $5, they’ll send you a few variations with no watermark.
Masks and social distancing are required at the event, especially in closer contact areas like ticketing, concessions, the Country Store, and anywhere our customers might find themselves within 6 feet of a person they didn’t arrive with.
The farm is large, so there’s plenty of space to distance and remove a mask while enjoying a snack or just taking a moment.
Santa wears a mask and gloves, and uses hand sanitizer as often as possible.
Children are asked to sit on the rug next to him – he can be reading to the children in the photo, or they can just sit near him. Participants in the photo sessions wear masks when near Santa.
Sessions are kept to 10 minutes or less to reduce contact.
