Saturday, November 18, 2017
10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
Santa Claus arrives in style to QKC via a classic hot rod with special meet and greet for keiki at Center Court. Entertainment includes family holiday tunes, keiki holiday crafts and coloring, balloons and reindeer hats.
Photos with Santa will take place at Santa’s village located on the first level, north wing. Photo packages are available from $24.99 to $49.99 and will include a Shutterfly $20 promotional gift card and one free phone call from Santa with every package purchase. Optional enhancements include digital downloads and stickers, holiday keepsake gifts, and a free APP.
Offered at a nominal fee this year is Santa’s Fastpass, an on-line time slot reservation system to avoid holiday lines at queenkaahumanucenter.com. QKC will also keep the keiki busy by offering an opportunity to write a Santa letter that can be dropped in Santa’s mailbox at Center Court. In addition, Compassionate Santa appointments are available to families with children and adults with special needs to avoid the holiday crowds. Reservations are required through Guest Services.
“We are so excited to have Santa make personal phone calls to our keiki this year!”, says Toni Rojas, Marketing Director. “By popular demand, Santa will be wearing his traditional attire, so don’t miss taking your annual keepsake photo”, says Rojas.
For Santa’s hours and Fastpass Photo Reservations, visit queenkaahumanucenter.com or stop by the Queen Ka’ahumanu Guest Service desk.
