For babies and toddlers

Making the visit go well

1Go right after napPick a slot when they’re fed and rested, not at the end of a long day out.
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 still count, and they’re cute.
4Tears are OKSnap the photo anyway. Crying-Santa pictures are a holiday tradition.
Also this season

Good questions

Santa in Toledo: questions parents ask

Where can we see Santa for free in Toledo?

One of this year’s Santa listings is free: Santa at The Blade Holiday Parade. Bring your own camera where the listing says so.

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

Two listings start in the morning, including Santa at The Blade Holiday Parade and Breakfast with Santa at Camp Miakonda.

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 19, 2026, and we recheck them in early November and again in early December. How we choose and check.
