I know this may be the scroogiest post I have written, but I will chance the wrath of Santa for this one.
I took my son to see Santa on Court Street at Bank of America. You (or your pet) could get your picture taken with Santa and it benefitted the Humane Society.
Not that pleasant of an experience. My main complaint? You spend $15 for a small pack of pictures and have to wait until December 18th, (yes, you read that right...a week before Christmas) to get the pics back!!! So ridiculous. Not only do you have to wait. But they don't even have the courtesy to mail them. You then have to drive out to get them at the Humane Society. Totally inconvenient. Way too late. They need to get the right equipment to print out pics on the spot. Nobody waits for these pics anymore. If my son wasn't excited to see Santa, I would have left after finding out about the wait. Not happy.
The visit with Santa was not great either. You are herded around and it is pretty much out of control and chaotic. No organization. Too crowded in. And it is more like "you paid? ok go ahead". It is not a memory or happy experience as it should be. Santa was nice once you got to him. But the rest of it was not worth it. Go anywhere else for your photos with Santa until they get a bigger venue, better organization and pictures on the spot (or will at least mail them to you). Who needs this experience only to get pictures only 1 week before you don't need them anymore?
There were several vendors. They had a bake sale, as well. There were cute items and the bake sale was super affordable. There was one vendor who stuck out like a sore thumb with waaaaaay overpriced items for the event. To me, this vendor did not fit in.
Overall, as much as I would like to love this to support the Humane Society, I would not recommend it. Go anywhere else until they get a better venue, more organized leadership and just a better experience all together. We now need to pay AGAIN for pictures with Santa to be able to really use them.
Please share the great spots to see Santa near Seguin, TX!!
