What visitors say
The atmosphere is buzzing and the Santa storytelling is praised as one of the best anywhere. But it gets extremely crowded, prices are high, and many came for crafts and found mostly food stalls; litter on Grey Street bothered some.
Great for kids who want to meet Santa — come for the buzz, not for gifts.
