The mall describes it as a calm, gentle visit for families with children who prefer a quieter time with Santa, with soft lighting and low noise, so a child who would struggle with the usual line, music and crowds can meet Santa and have a photo taken in a more relaxed setting. Places are limited, and the mall strongly encourages booking ahead through its Santa reservation site. It runs on the same Santa set used for the regular Santa photos from November 6 to December 24. ## Similar picks in Sacramento - [Sensory-Friendly Santa (Santa Cares) — Westfield Galleria at Roseville](https://grassyknees.com/sacramento/activities/sensory-friendly-santa-santa-cares-westfield-galleria-at-roseville--listing-7b8aa9d391063c6dc66cf415) — Sun, Dec 6 · 8:00 AM – 9:00 AM · Westfield Galleria at Roseville (Center Court, near JCPenney) · sensory-friendly · checked Oct 27.
