About this adventure
Santa sets up in Center Court near Macy's on the first level of Fashion Valley in Mission Valley from early November until Christmas Eve. Families can book a time slot online for a visit and photo session with Santa, which keeps waits short on busy weekends; photos are taken by the Santa Photo Experience team and sold in packages on site. Santa keeps shorter afternoon hours in the first week, longer days on weekends and through the mid-December rush, and closes for Thanksgiving Day. For the easiest walk, park in Parking Structure G and come in through Nordstrom and Neiman Marcus. A separate sensory-friendly Caring Santa morning for children with special needs is held on December 6, and the mall runs a pet-photos day in November.
