Santa Cares
Santa Cares events provided an inclusive, sensory-friendly environment for children and families to visit with Santa outside of normal venue hours. These events reduce sensory triggers by limiting the number of guests to reduce crowds and wait times, as well as ensuring that the lighting and music are at reduced and comfortable levels. These events gave guests the opportunity to make a donation in support of our charitable Magic of Giving partner, Autism Speaks. Check out our Moments of Magic: Celebrating Inclusivity at Santa Cares blog to see the highlights!
Baby's First
The first visit to Santa for a baby is a special memory, filled with twinkling lights, rosy cheeks, and the magic of the season. It provided an enchanting opportunity for your little ones to have their very first picture with Santa, marking the beginning of their memorable journey into the magic of Christmas.
