Kids can meet the Grinch and Cindy Lou, play in a kids' zone with a bounce house, get faces painted and balloons twisted, chase bubbles and games, make something at a holiday craft station, decorate cookies, visit a hot chocolate bar and play in snow flurries released through the event. Two food trucks, a live DJ and performers, and a holiday pop-up market round it out. A digital photo with Santa by a professional photographer is included only with the VIP family ticket, which covers up to five people from one household; GA family tickets cover two or four people. Children 23 months and older need a ticket. Bring an unwrapped toy for the Anvil of Hope toy drive to earn extra raffle tickets. Sales are non-refundable (credit to a future event). ## Similar picks in San Diego - [Selfies with Santa (Santee)](https://grassyknees.com/san-diego/activities/selfies-with-santa-santee--listing-026102327a50c204accbc657) — Wed, Dec 2 · 4:00 PM · Santee Trolley Square (amphitheater stage) · Free · checked Oct 13.
