Sensitive Santa is Coming to Polaris Fashion Place


Sensitive Santa is an event for families with children with all spectrums of special needs, providing a more controlled and welcoming environment to visit The Santa Photo Experience. Simple adjustments are made to reduce sensory stimuli (muted lights, music and waiting to visit Santa at activity tables) to create a calming environment.

This event will take place prior to store openings on Sunday, December 2nd and December 9th from 9 a.m.-11 a.m. The event is free, and Santa photo packages will be available for purchase.  Where: Lower Level between JCPenney and the Main Entrance by Molly Woos and Brio Tuscan Grille.

Sensitive Santa is held in partnership with Autism Speaks, the world’s leading autism science and advocacy organization, dedicated to funding research into the cause, prevention, treatment and cure for autism.
