Pictures with Santa at The Pointe

Expand to see the parent tip

Ballwin brings Santa to The Pointe on two Saturdays, so families can bring their own cameras and snap free photos with him, with Mrs. Claus along as a special guest.

While they wait in line, kids can write a letter to Santa and work on holiday crafts. No registration is needed for either date.

Parent tip: Pick the date that suits your crew: the Thanksgiving weekend session runs in the afternoon, the December 12 session in the morning. Have your phone or camera charged since you take the photos yourself.

A story for the drive home

A morning with Santa or an evening of holiday stories tends to end the same way: tired kids, a long drive and one more book before bed. Our picture book follows Rally the corgi on his first train ride to see his grand-paw-rents, and every page is painted by hand. If your family is spending December missing someone, it was written for that too. For the car, print our free corgi and train coloring pages.

Rally Takes the Train book cover: a watercolor corgi peeking from a red train

A bedtime story after seeing SantaRally Takes the Train is a five-minute rhyming picture book about a corgi’s first ride on a California train, hand-painted in watercolor. $16.99 on Amazon, ages 0 to 8.
