Santa at 900

Nothing says holiday quite like a magical visit with Santa at 900! The halls have been decked and the majestic, 50-foot tall tree holds center court in the open atrium. Overhead, the digital canopy features enchanting displays of artful majesty. For photos with Santa, a vintage sleigh has been nestled amongst a cluster of cherry pines, aglitter with hundreds of tiny holiday lights.
