Hi Mama's,
Well I ended up waiting till the last minute to get my boys picture with Santa! Do you know where I can't get a picture with Santa done?!?! My little one's are a bit distraught. We got them all dressed up yesterday and went to Charlestown Mall in St. Charles (Where we have gone for the last 10 years) Close only open on Friday and Saturday! UGG! Any suggestions? Can't find anything on line so your my next resource! I promised my 4 boys I will find SANTA!
Thank you so much! Merry Christmas!
Greatful Mama of 4
THANK YOU MAMA'S off to FoxValley We go! Boys are so excited! Thank you for all you responses!

Downtown Crystal Lake has a Santa House and he'll be there every night this week. Click the link for more info. Good luck!
Is there a Bass Pro Shops in your area? thats where we had our DS pictures taken last year. Good Luck! MERRY CHRISTMAS :-)
We had our best-yet photo taken with Santa at Fox Valley Mall (Aurora/Naperville). He's a nice Santa -- good with the kids. You've got plenty of time.
Scroll down to the bottom of the page to see the Santa hours:

Can you try another mall?
I know it is 1.5 hours to Bass Pro (in Gurnee, IL), but it might be your only option. They do have Santa pictures through Christms Eve, just in case you can't find Santa elsewhere! http://www.basspro.com/homepage.html Good luck!
We went to a big nursery)plant nursery) they are so beautifully decorated, no line ever, I have to bring my own camera and take my own picture. So call the nurseries in your area and ask
Santa was at Springhall Mall in West Dundee doing pictures yesterday.
Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg has a very realistic Santa and a nice set up to help reduce the impatience of waiting in line.
Stratford has a good Santa. Took the boys there before Thanksgiving and got ours done. He is there everyday. Good luck.
LOL - I was going to say try Bass Pro Shops - it seems to be a consenus here! We got lucky as they had Cookies w/Santa at school one Saturday - it was great and the first time she ever sat on Santa's lap (she normally hides/strangleholds my leg!)
bass pro shops have free pictures with stanta-look online!
Bass Pro Shop does them for free.
Check your local firestations, may be too late now but many have Breakfast with Santa.
Check other malls, outlet malls.
If you have a Facebook account - ask your friends on there. Whenever I'm in a bind looking for something, my FB friends always come through :-)
If you have a Bass Pro Shop around, that's definitely the place to go! You get one 4X6 pic for free and you can bring your own camera and take your own also. We just went today and it was AWESOME! The one we went to even had some little activities (remote control cars, crafts, etc) there for the kids to do while waiting in the line. The line moved really quickly and we had lots of fun. I highly recommend it!
Try the Arboretum in South Barrington. I am not sure when the last day they are doing pics but here is the number to the management office.

Good Luck!
We took our girls to Golf Mill in Niles on Monday, and they're there all this week (even Friday). He's a great Santa, and not a long wait.
Good luck and Merry Christmas!
I went to Bass Pro Shop/Outdoor World in Bolingbrook. Very goood Santa. 1 Free picture or a $10 package.
Bass Pro shops in Bolingbrook has Santa and a big wonderland set up with crafts and trains and holiday things. It's nice. They dod a free photo for you and I think you can bring your camera and take your own photos as well.
We had a fabulous experience with the Navy Pier Santa. Parking is discounted, there is no fee to see Santa, and you can take your own pictures without buying a package.
That said, in the past I've gone to Golf Mill Santa (and others I know have continued to visit there as well) but you must buy a photo package in order to take your own pictures. I have a problem with that.
