Santa’s in the house in his Big Vista Lodge every day through Saturday, December 24

Straight from his home at the North Pole, Santa Claus is settled in to his all-new Big Vista Lodge at Vista Ridge Mall. Santa’s cozy setting is like a mountaintop cabin, where Santa and his visitors can snuggle in and visit. There’s a welcoming stone fireplace where stockings are hung with care, a bright Christmas tree, presents and holiday decorations galore inside. Outside, trees are dusted with snow and there are games for children to enjoy.

To add to the mountain setting, there are daily snowstorms at Big Vista Lodge. Visitors will get caught in the snow Monday through Saturday at noon, 2:00pm, 4:00pm, 6:00pm and 8:00pm; and Sundays at noon, 2:00pm, 4:00pm and 6:00pm.

Santa will be nestled in Big Vista Lodge, located on the lower level near Dillard’s, and guests are invited to stop by for a visit every day during the holidays. He does take breaks during the day, and visitors should check www.vistaridgemall.com for his schedule. Photo packages start at $15.
