About this adventure

Caring Santa is a private, sensory-friendly Santa visit held before Fashion Valley's usual Santa hours, set aside exclusively for children with special needs and their families. Because it takes place early on a Sunday morning, the mall is quiet and families can meet Santa at Macy's Center Court without the crowds, noise and long lines of a regular holiday visit, at a pace that suits their child. Photos are taken during the visit and can be bought on site. Spots are limited and must be reserved in advance through the Santa reservation site; there is no walk-up access to this session. Families who would rather visit during regular hours can book standard Santa Photos through December 24.
