About this adventure

Santa takes up his seat at Arden Fair, Sacramento's enclosed mall on Arden Way, from November 6 through Christmas Eve. Families can simply walk up while Santa is on set, or book a reservation online to skip the line; the reservation site also lists Santa's hours for each day, which vary across the season. The mall pitches the visit to every age, from babies meeting Santa for the first time to whole-family photos. Arden Fair also runs two special sessions on the same set: a quieter Sensory Santa hour before the mall opens on Sunday, December 6, and Santa Pet Nights on Monday evenings (November 23 and 30, December 7) for families who want the dog in the picture. Photo packages are sold through the booking site; the mall page prints no prices.
