If you want to visit the REAL Santa though, you’re in luck!  You can find him right here in Portland!

For the last 25 years our family has been visiting Santa at Santaland in downtown Portland.  Santaland is now located in the basement of Macy’s.  Gone are the good old days when Santaland occupied the 10th floor of Meier & Frank and you could ride the monorail around the ceiling!

It was a sad day for our children when they grew too tall to ride!Visit with Santa_0001

Although the monorail no longer circles the ceiling of the 10th floor you can visit the monorail museum downstairs in Macy’s.

That is also where you will find Santa!  He is only there through 4 p.m. Christmas Eve, Dec. 24th.  See their website for hours.

So if you haven’t given Santa your list yet hurry on downtown!
