About this adventure
Tacoma Mall holds a private Caring Santa® visit on Sunday, December 6, from 9:00 to 10:30 a.m. The mall describes Caring Santa as a special, sensory-friendly experience exclusively for children with special needs and their families. Santa is set up in JCPenney Court inside the mall, and photos are taken during the visit and can be bought at the event. Because it is a private event, reservations are required: families book a spot in advance through the mall's Santa booking page (whereissanta.com). The mall's regular Santa photos run from November 13 to December 24, according to its events list.
