About this adventure

Caring Santa is a private, sensory-friendly Santa visit at SouthPark mall reserved for children with special needs and their families. It runs on the morning of Sunday, December 6, 2026, from 8:30 to 10:30 a.m., before the regular Santa set in Center Court opens for the day at 11 a.m., so families can meet Santa without the usual holiday crowds and lines. Every family must reserve a time in advance through the mall's Santa booking site, which keeps the number of people at the set small. Santa's photographers take pictures during the visit and families can buy them afterwards if they want, but the page does not say a purchase is required. It is a good choice for children with autism, sensory processing differences or other needs who find a busy mall Santa line hard.
