πŸŽ… Staten Island β€” Our Home Base

Santa Visits in Staten Island, NY

Our Santa is not crossing a bridge to get to you on the busiest Saturday in December. Binx has run out of Staten Island for 27 years, and the suit lives here too. From $250, no deposit, no travel fee anywhere on the island.

Why Being From Here Matters in December

Anybody can put a Staten Island page on a website. Fewer companies are actually sitting on the island at 2pm on the second Saturday of December, when Hylan Boulevard is one long brake light and Richmond Avenue near the Mall has given up entirely. That is the difference between a Santa who arrives on time and a Santa who texts you from the Expressway.

Twenty-seven years and more than 20,000 events later, we know which stretch of the borough to leave early for. We know that Tottenville and Pleasant Plains want a longer arrival window in the afternoon, that St. George is a different traffic problem entirely, and that a Todt Hill driveway is not the same job as a Stapleton walk-up.

Every performer is on our own staff, background-checked and insured. We do not hand your booking to a subcontractor and hope. Read our no-subcontractors policy β†’

Staten Island Santa Questions

Yes, and on Staten Island that's where a lot of December parties happen. Santa needs a chair, a spot to set the sack down and a clear path to the stairs. Low ceilings are fine. Tell us in advance if the stairs are narrow or the landing is tight so he can plan his entrance rather than discovering it live.
Whichever one you want the kids watching. Give us the door number, the floor and the buzzer name when you book, and say if the side entrance is the real entrance. Two-family and semi-detached homes are most of what we work in here, so it's a normal question, not a complication.
No. Staten Island is our home base, so Tottenville, Pleasant Plains, Huguenot, Annadale, Eltingville and Great Kills are all no travel fee β€” same as the North Shore and Mid-Island. The price you're quoted is the price you pay when Santa arrives.
It matters for timing, not for price. Hylan Boulevard and Richmond Avenue both slow to a crawl on December Saturdays, and a driveway spot or a saved space near the house means Santa walks in rather than circling. If parking is genuinely impossible, tell us and we'll build extra minutes into the arrival window.
You provide the gifts and we bring the sack. Label each one with the child's name and have them out of sight before Santa arrives. He hands them out one at a time so every child gets their own moment instead of a scramble.
There are only four weekends before the 25th and one Santa, and the two closest to Christmas go first. Weekday evenings hold on longer than Saturdays. There's no deposit on staffed entertainment, so calling early to hold a date costs you nothing up front.

Plan the visit around your Staten Island venue.

The right address

Staten Island includes many distinct neighborhoods. Give us the neighborhood as well as the street address so the performer has a clear arrival plan. Our existing neighborhood pages cover Great Kills, New Dorp, Oakwood and Grasmere.

Make arrival straightforward

For a home celebration, tell us which entrance reaches the party space and whether equipment needs to go upstairs or through a side gate. A hall or school booking should include the room and on-site contact.

Plan this activity

For Santa, plan the entrance, photo order and the visit’s place in your celebration. If you choose a gift-giving package, the host supplies the gifts; organize their labels and handoff in advance.
