Families can bring their own camera for photos and children get time to share their holiday wishes. There is no separate ticket: the visit is included with daytime Garden admission or membership, so it is easy to combine with the Holiday Ride-on Train, the Holiday Model Trains display and the children's garden on the same morning. Arrive earlier in the window on busy December Saturdays. ## Similar picks in Atlanta - [Santa's Post Office at The Battery Atlanta](https://grassyknees.com/atlanta/activities/santa-s-post-office-at-the-battery-atlanta--listing-42d9942d4b59b9d6ca2b2f41) — Sat, Nov 21 (+17 more dates) · 12:00 PM · Truist Community Corner, The Battery Atlanta · Free · checked Oct 16.
