See Santa Claus and Skip the Lines at the National Aviary!

As you know I am a fan of the National Aviary.  I love it even more because they are having Santa come every Saturday until December 22nd.  It's a great way for your child to sit on Santa's lap and for you to skip those horrid lines at the mall!

Details for Seeing Santa at the National Aviary

Kids can visit with the St. Nick each Saturday in December until December 22 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. as part of their regular admission.  Children can relay their favorite holiday gift choices to Santa, along with one of the Aviary’s 16 African Penguins.
Bring your camera and capture a remembrance of this great holiday experience.
