Ways to keep Santa cheap

For babies and toddlers

Making the visit go well

1Go right after napBook a slot when they’re fed and rested.
2Talk about Santa firstLook at photos together so the beard and the big red suit aren’t a surprise.
3A parent can hold themLap photos with a grown-up are fine.
4Tears are OKTake the photo anyway. Plenty of families keep a crying-Santa picture.
Also this season

Good questions

Santa in Ogden: questions parents ask

Where can we see Santa for free in Ogden?

Two of this year’s Santa listings are free: Santa at Ogden’s Christmas Village and Santa at the Layton Holiday Hayrides. Bring your own camera where the listing says so.

What’s the cheapest breakfast with Santa in Ogden?

Of the breakfasts and brunches with posted 2026 prices, the lowest is Breakfast with Santa at Union Station ($35 per person; kids 2 and under free on a parent's lap. Tickets go on sale Nov 1 at 8 a.m.). Prices are from each venue’s own page.

Which Santa visits are best for babies and kids under 3?

Babies and young toddlers get in free at Breakfast with Santa at Union Station (kids 2 and under free on a parent's lap. Tickets go on sale Nov 1 at 8 a.m.). A morning visit before nap usually goes better than an evening one.

When is the best time to see Santa with a toddler who goes to bed early?

One listings start in the morning, including Breakfast with Santa at Union Station. Two are evening visits (5 p.m. or later), which work best on a late-nap day.

How do you check these Santa listings?

Each listing comes from the venue’s or organizer’s own page, and links to it. We list dates, times and prices only when that page shows them for 2026; anything without posted dates goes in “Dates not posted yet” instead. These were last checked Oct 30, 2026, and we recheck them in early November and again in early December. How we choose and check.
