Santa trades the sleigh for the indoor pool at the Dow Active Complex, where kids can swim with him, pose for festive photos and pick up a small gift from Santa included with admission.
Between splashes there are holiday crafts, games and a cookies-and-hot-cocoa station, with festive music playing over the pool deck.
Parent tip: Space is limited and pre-registration is required, so pick a session early. Pack the swimsuit and towel the night before.

Elf Camp is Deer Park’s three-day holiday camp for the busy days right before Christmas, with holiday crafts, cooking and games.
Campers also take a trip to the Polar Express Train Ride, so it doubles as a Christmas train outing while parents finish wrapping.

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.
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.
