how to reserve your spot in line

All visits with Santa are managed through our Santa Photo Check-In App, including walk-ups. Due to demand, we strongly encourage ‘lining up’ in the app vs. walking up without a reservation. By reserving your family’s spot in the app, you’re able to see exactly how much time you have until your magical moment with Santa. This saves the inconvenience of standing around and waiting in long lines indefinitely.

On the day of your anticipated visit, use the app to score your spot in line ahead of time online. The app ‘line’ opens for reservations Saturdays & Sundays at 11am (one hour ahead of Santa’s start time).

Get the app by searching “Petitti Garden Centers” for iPhone or Android. Powered by ICS Net Check In™, transforming how the world waits™. Unable to use the mobile app? Hop in line using the web browser version.
