Macy's Chicago Santaland: Free Daily Reservations Through December 24
Entry costs nothing and the visit is free; photo packages are the extra, from $44.99, and your time is when the line starts.
🎟️ How the 6:30 a.m. Drops Work
A reservation costs nothing, and neither does the visit. Photo packages sit outside that, priced from $44.99 to $54.99. One booking covers up to nine guests, and whoever books has to be 18 or older.
New dates appear one at a time. Each morning at 6:30 a.m. Central Time, the date exactly seven days out opens. The first drop lands October 31, for opening day on November 7.
The time you pick is when you join the queue. Waits of 30 to 90 minutes are normal, and weekends run longest. From November 7 to 22 the fifth floor opens Friday through Sunday only. November 23 onward it runs every day except Thanksgiving, then finishes on December 24 at 4 p.m. Two Sensory Friendly mornings, December 6 and 13, book the same way.
