Absolutely the best experience! We love the appointment system, especially with a newborn. Santa was kind and attentive with our overwhelmed baby, and the pictures turned out so cute. Thank you to the very sweet staff and front desk attendants, we’ll be back next year.
My kids have been coming here their whole little lives and every year it's always feels like a little bit of magic. Santa is always the best and his helpers always bring in the holiday spirit. Photos always look amazing and I'm able to get all the ones that are taken with the digital package. (Pictures are mine, theirs are way better) The background is always so cute and ideal for the perfect Christmas pictures
We took pictures with Santa and our 3 dogs and it was such an amazing experience! They were so kind and so nice to us! They were very accommodating with our dogs. We will definitely be coming back next year for pictures!
Holiday Magic Studios has always done an amazing job for our family since first coming to River Park. They have been our first choice for those holiday photos. Today was especially special because it’s our youngest child’s first Christmas and first time meeting Santa. Our two year old was really excited to see Santa and ran towards him as soon as the door opened to his fantastic workshop. Our oldest got a huge kick out of the video introducing Santa’s head elf Sprinkles as our elf at home shares the same name. They squeezed us in as well and while quick and short they don’t need much time to capture the magic in the moment.
We love this place. We have made it our yearly tradition now for our littles. Definitely a must stop for Christmas time!
I recently visited Holiday Magic Studios for their Santa photo experience, and I can't say enough good things about it! From the moment we arrived, the festive atmosphere set the perfect tone for a magical holiday experience. The staff was incredibly welcoming and made us feel right at home, which eased any nerves my children had about meeting Santa. The set design was stunning, filled with beautiful decorations that really captured the essence of the holiday season. Santa himself was charming and genuinely magical, engaging with the kids and making them feel special during the photo session. It was heartwarming to see the joy on their faces as they interacted with him. The photography team was professional and incredibly talented. They captured precious moments that we will cherish forever. The turnaround time for receiving our photos was impressively quick, and the quality was outstanding. Each picture was beautifully edited, making it hard to choose a favorite! Overall, our visit to Holiday Magic Studios was enchanting and exceeded all expectations. This is definitely the place to go for anyone looking to create lasting memories with Santa. I highly recommend it to families looking to add a little extra holiday magic to their
Staff was very nice and helpful with making my toddler smile and comfortable! Definitely coming back next year for Christmas pictures
This was our first year coming to Holiday Magic Studios and I’m so glad we did. We drove over an hour to get here because of the reviews, word of mouth recommendations and the experience was everything I hoped for. From the beginning I felt so welcomed and like a valued family. The staff is so attentive at keeping you informed of the process and the wait time if there is any. The interactive video for the kids is such a nice touch that we all enjoyed. Can’t say enough amazing things about the photography staff. They worked well with my children and I appreciated them calling them by their names so they were more attentive and ready for each pose and picture. Them including me was something I wasn’t expecting but was beyond grateful they did. It left me with an amazing picture and memory with my babies. I love the endless pictures I get to look through, choose and download. Having that selection and being able to look through each picture is an amazing experience on its own. Very grateful for the amazing staff and the experience. I would highly recommend this experience for your families.
Love this setup for Santa visits!! We've been coming here yearly since my son was a newborn such a pleasant experience and friendly staff. Idk how many there are but we've always enjoyed the Santa wearing the dark red traditional colored outfit. Sucks that there's peak pricing if you don't book early now but it's nice that they send the text messages at the beginning of the season.
