Although visits to the Santa Room are FREE, visitors are asked to please consider bringing a non-perishable food item for the pantry, or a new, unwrapped toy for Worth Township’s Christmas Care program, that will help fill some empty stockings for local youngsters.

This is one of the BEST Santa experiences in the nearby south suburbs, who will actually spend time talking to your kids without shoving them off his lap for the next overpriced photo package.
