## FAQ

### Where can we see Santa for free in Spokane?
One of this year’s Santa listings is free: Santa’s Arrival and Tree Lighting at River Park Square. Bring your own camera where the listing says so.

### Which Santa visits are best for babies and kids under 3?
To skip a long line with a toddler, look at reserved or timed visits: Santa Photos at NorthTown Mall (WA), Santa Photos at Spokane Valley Mall and Santa Photos at Silver Lake Mall. 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?
Four listings start in the morning, including Santa Photos at River Park Square, Santa Photos at NorthTown Mall (WA) and Santa Photos at Spokane Valley Mall. One is an evening visit (5 p.m. or later), which work best on a late-nap day.

### Is there a sensory-friendly Santa in Spokane?
