Special Santa Events
- December 5 - 14, 4pm to 7pm: Santa Paws Photos
Scottsdale Fashion Square will host a magical experience for four-legged friends. Fido and Felix can get in on the action by sharing their good deeds (and atoning for some of their oopsies) while woofing and meowing their holiday wish list to Santa as they strike a pose. Pet parents can register their furry friends on the booking website to reserve a spot. - December 10: Sensory Santa
While holidays are magical times for all children, holiday traditions can be overwhelming for some on the autism spectrum due to sensory differences, communication styles, and other environmental elements. This is why Scottsdale Fashion Square presents a Sensory Santa event in collaboration with Autism Speaks on December 10. The Sensory Santa event brings the magic to everyone by providing a compassionate environment where families are encouraged to visit Santa at their own pace. The sensory-friendly experience includes limited scheduling to lessen crowds and wait times, reduced music volume or no music at all, and ensure lighting is comfortable for all guests. Additionally, all guests can donate to Autism Speaks at the checkout by “keeping the change” with the purchase of a photo package, or adding $1, $3, $5 or $10 to their purchase.
