BOCA RATON, Fla. — The holidays look a lot different this year because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and Boca Center in Boca Raton is putting a unique spin on visits with Santa Claus.
On Saturday, the shopping, dining, and entertainment complex located at 5150 Town Center Circle, will offer virtual visits with Kris Kringle from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m, complete with a photo booth and green screen so you can take a virtual photo with Saint Nick.
"You have three different backdrops to choose from, and then right after you get your photo, you get to meet Santa live from his workshop," said Giani Pacinelli, the marketing director for Boca Center.
Tickets are $20 and time slots must be reserved in advance by clicking here. All of the proceeds will benefit the Spirit of Giving Network.
In addition, Boca Center will offer holiday events this season including a winter wonderland photo booth, snow globe workshops, holiday happy hours, live music, toy drives, and more. For more information, click here.
