The Greater Newburyport Chamber runs the workshop as part of the city's December festivities, so a visit pairs easily with a walk around the decorated downtown, the waterfront boardwalk and the shops on State Street and Market Square. It suits toddlers through early grade-schoolers who still want a Santa visit; bring your own camera or phone for the photo, since the page does not mention a photographer or photo packages. Visits run three hours each Saturday and Sunday for three weekends, which gives families several chances to fit it in before Christmas. ## Similar picks in Boston - [Santa's Christmas at Charmingfare Farm (Candia, NH)](https://grassyknees.com/boston/activities/santa-s-christmas-at-charmingfare-farm-candia-nh--listing-393b7097ce0993e67b5e7586) — Sat, Nov 28 (+11 more dates) · Charmingfare Farm, Candia · All ages · From $39 · checked Oct 27.
