## About

Providence Place's Santa set for the season is Santa's Arctic Clipper, a North Pole ship-themed photo experience on Level 1 in the Garden area of the downtown mall. From November 13 through Christmas Eve, children can climb aboard, meet Santa, share their wish lists and have a keepsake photo taken. Families can reserve a time slot online, where the current hours and photo-package pricing are listed; reservations are recommended but walk-ups are welcome and are fitted in as time allows. Families who buy a photo package receive a coupon for a free kid's meal at PF Chang's in the mall. The set also hosts a sensory-friendly Santa morning on December 6 and pet photo nights on Mondays.
