Well, it is finally cold outside and the holidays are upon us. This might have you wondering, “Where can I meet Santa in Atlanta?” Whether you are a kid or a kid at heart, there are lots of fun opportunities to give Santa your wish list, take a photo with Santa and more. Here is a round up of what is going on around town!
Santa’s Post Office at The Battery Atlanta
Nov. 26 – Dec. 24
Experience the magic of the holiday season with a socially distanced Santa experience. Santa Claus is once again setting up shop at his Post Office in The Battery Atlanta! From Friday, November 26 to Thursday, December 24, Santa continues the time-honored tradition of greeting local children. Santa will set up shop every Friday through Sunday in the Community Corner presented by Truist, located at the corner of Power Alley and Battery Avenue.
Families are invited to bring their handwritten letters to Santa – postage not required – in person at his official Atlanta outpost. Santa’s helpers will take care of the rest!
Additionally, Truist will provide activities for the whole family, celebrating multiple holidays taking place this time of year. Come take a photo in a winter wonderland, hit a snowball out of the park, send a holiday message to a community group in need, and grab some treats to share.
Note: There isn’t a professional photographer on-site, so bring a camera or a smartphone. Parents are encouraged to take photos of their children interacting with Santa, from a safe distance, as he listens to their wish lists. Santa will be stationed behind a countertop for a contactless experience. Please note that masks are required inside the Community Corner.
The Battery Atlanta also hosts themed Santa Paws nights so guests and their four-legged friends can take free, adorable photos with Santa from 4 to 8 p.m. on December 2, December 9, and December 16.
