There are sensory friendly Santa photo opportunities on Sunday, Dec. 1 from 11 a.m. to noon, and Sunday, Dec. 8, from 11 a.m. to noon. These two opportunities are perfect for any Santa seeker with sensory sensitivities. These times provide a calm, quiet setting before the general public gets there.
