Santa in the Garden

Santa makes special appearances at Fairchild during A Very Merry Garden, 11 a.m.–3 p.m., with photo opportunities in the garden. Visits are included with garden admission (members and kids 2 and under free). Fairchild hasn't published the 2026 Santa dates yet — last year he came on Dec. 6, 13, 20 and 22 — so check before you go; we'll update this page when the schedule is out.
