One of the most nostalgic family holiday experiences Philadelphia has to offer, this immersive experience is a vintage animatronic retelling of A Christmas Carol. After exploring the fabulous displays and gorgeous lights, you can take the family to meet Santa and let him know what get his elves working on before Christmas gets here. Macy’s also brings their wonderful window displays to life for the season.
Make sure to book a reservation for your chance to explore Dickens Village & visit Macy’s Santa at their Center City store.
Please note, Santa’s last day is December 24th.
