About this adventure

On the Sunday of its Gateway Winter Market, the Gateway Convention Center in Collinsville offers a Sensory Inclusive Santa: four hours, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., set aside for visits with Santa that families book ahead through the center's online sign-up rather than waiting in an open line. It is the only Santa time at the market labelled sensory inclusive; Saturday has the regular free photo line and a ticketed breakfast, listed separately. The holiday market fills the rest of the building on Sunday with free admission and free parking, so families can browse afterwards or leave right after their visit. The center's page does not describe the specific adaptations, so call the front office ahead if your child needs particular accommodations such as dimmed lights, a quiet space or extra time.
