Breakfast with Santa at The War Memorial — Grosse Pointe Farms

About this adventure

The War Memorial's Breakfast with Santa opens with a big entrance: Santa arrives by helicopter on the lakefront lawn (weather permitting). Families then sit down in the historic estate for a breakfast from several stations prepared by the War Memorial's culinary team. Each ticket includes a make-and-take holiday craft, a chance for children to share their wishes with Santa, a holiday sing-along around the piano in the library and a make-your-own hot cocoa station. New for 2026, an in-house photographer takes professional photos with Santa, and each family receives a QR code to download them afterward. Guests choose a seating time when buying tickets, and holiday dress is encouraged. Tickets are $50 per child and $70 per adult (15 percent off for veterans), already including gratuity and sales tax; children under 2 are free, with complimentary high-chair or booster tickets that must accompany a paid order. Table-combining requests are due by December 1.
