Here’s a list of places you can take them to see Santa in Kansas City during the 2021 holiday season. Some of these are also events that include refreshments, crafts, and other kids’ activities; others are just places where the kids can tell Santa what they want for Christmas.

Some of these Kansas City holiday events include FREE and cheap Santa photo opportunities or you can snap those precious holiday photos with your own camera. There’s even some some opportunities for your fur-baby to come along for a photo with Santa.

Click on the links and read carefully. In some cases, the visits with Santa are FREE, but you’ll need to purchase a photo package if you want a tangible memento.

As always, if you know of any places or events we’ve left out, drop us a note at info@kansascityonthecheap.com and we’ll add them as soon as we can.
