Northern Shores Recreation Center

There is a lunch with Santa held every year. Usually the first Saturday in December. Always a great time!
This is a well kept recreation center! I had never had a compliant about this center. The staff and facility are always in tact.
I visited here last Saturday for their annual Lunch with Santa!
The event started promptly at 11am and ended promptly a few minutes before 1pm.
The City of Suffolk opens there doors to Northern Shores Recreation for a few hours of free fun for the kids. If adults want to participate (eat lunch) they are asked to pay $ 5 in advance (registration required). But I found out that the in advance registration is only to get a rough estimate of attendees. As a result, if you do not register prior to the event, there is certainly opportunity to register once you arrive. While adults are responsible to pay $ 5, children are asked to bring an unwrapped toy for a boy or girl to place under the Christmas tree. Now how awesome is that!
So once the adult pays and the child brings the toy… a day of fun begins.
During this event you will experience: bounce houses, cotton candy, popcorn, pictures with Santa and Mrs. Claus, holiday crafts, coloring, face painting, custom balloons, lunch from Chic Fil A and raffles drawn throughout the event.
Now I love a great children’s event and I must say Northern Shores has it put together very well!
This was my 2^nd year attending and I plan to attend until my 7 yr old daughter tells me she’s too old to go.
Children ranged from toddlers to 11 years old. And even if your child isn’t into Santa it’s still a great time for a worthy cause!
I would definitely recommend you mark your calendar for the first Saturday in Decemeber 2015 (when the event usually takes place).
You will definitely not be disappointed a Saturday of fun well spent…
Also…the picture quality is great as well. If you wish to bring your own camera to take the picture that is totally acceptable!
Have fun :)
