Where’s Santa? Places to Find Santa Around Boulder County
The holiday season is upon us. Christmas lights are flooding the streets with every color imaginable and lawn decorations to boot. Of course, if you’re a parent, there’s one tradition you aren’t going to want to miss this year: the annual visit with Santa Claus.
In Boulder, there are several locations where you can take your kiddos to tell Santa exactly what they want for Christmas. Each location has a great theme and offers children something more than just a jolly man in a red suit.
Below are the places you can find Santa in Boulder for the next few weeks:
St. Nick on the Bricks – This Santa sighting takes place on the Pearl Street Mall at the visitor’s information center every Saturday until December 18th, from 11 am to 2 pm. The visit is free and they don’t offer photos, so be sure to bring your camera along with you to capture the moment.
Santa’s House – Hosted at the Pi Beta Phi sorority house at 890 11th Street, this weekend long event is more than just a quick visit with Santa. Kids can play carnival games and listens to stories told by Miss Ann Harding, a professional children’s entertainer. Both Santa and the missus will be there on December 7 and 8 from 10 am to 4 pm. Admission is $3 and the sorority is collecting donations for Community Food Share and Books for Children.
Miracle on 29th Street – Santa comes to the 29th Street Mall on Saturdays the 7th, 14th and 21st and kids visiting Santa here can also meet his reindeer and enjoy a horse-drawn carriage ride. The carriage rides are available from 5-8 pm and the reindeer are available for petting from 6-8 pm. Santa himself will be inside Macy’s.
Santa’s Holiday Home – Located in the Flatiron Crossing Mall, this location is a little ways out from Boulder proper, but still offers your children a great opportunity to visit Santa (and you can get some Santa shopping done at the same time). Plus, they have a unique, time-saving option: the Santa Fly By program, in which you can sign up for the virtual visit line via phone, text or web. You’ll get a wait time and then you can simply come back when it’s about your turn. Santa’s home is located between Helzberg Diamonds and Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory at the base of the grand staircase.
