Pick by whether you need a booking. Provo Towne Centre has an online reservation calendar where you choose a date and time, and its booking page says walk-ins are also accepted without a guaranteed wait. Springville, Lindon and Eagle Mountain are city events with no reservation step listed, so walk up and read the city page the week before you go. Springville's page labels its Santa's house visits free. Lindon ties Santa photos to its tree lighting, and Santa rides a float in its parade four days later. Eagle Mountain has not posted Santa's time within its 3 to 7 p.m. window, so call before you drive. Breakfast with Santa at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi is the sit-down option, but its ticket page shows sold out as of Nov. 6. Only Springville's page uses the word free, so ask Lindon and Eagle Mountain about cost.
