Naperville Park District is welcoming Santa Claus back to his Naperville Workshop at the Riverwalk Café, where he will visit with families from November 29 through December 23. This year, families will be able to see Santa inside the workshop, one family at a time, for a brief, socially distanced conversation.

Nonresident registration begins Thursday, November 18 at 12:00 noon. Fees are $10 per family for residents and $15 per family for nonresidents. When registering, families can choose one of the available 15-minute time slots. There will be no on-site registration or walk-ups available.
