## About

Santa takes his seat at Center Court in Inland Center, San Bernardino's enclosed shopping mall, from Friday, November 20 through Christmas Eve. A visit with Santa is free, so children can share their wish list without buying anything, and photo packages are sold for families who want a portrait. The mall recommends booking a time slot online to skip the wait; families who pre-book also get a free personalized video message from Santa (Portable North Pole) before the visit. Santa keeps shorter after-school hours early in the season, longer hours on December weekends and extra-long days the week of Christmas, with short breaks in the afternoon, and he is not there on Thanksgiving Day. Inland Center also plans Pet Nights with Santa and a Sensory Santa session for children who need a quieter visit; their dates had not been posted when this page was read.
