Description

Paddock Mall offers Sensitive Santa, a sensory-friendly, magical holiday experience for those with sensitivities on Dec. 12, 9am-10:30am. The holidays are a magical time for families to experience the wonder of Santa and to create heartfelt memories together. Understanding that children with sensory sensitivities may require a more customized experience, Paddock Mall will offer Sensitive Santa®, a sensory-friendly holiday event, on December 12th from 9am-10:30am. During Sensitive Santa, families will have the opportunity to meet Santa prior to the town center opening for a quieter, more subdued experience, with the opportunity to support Autism Speaks. With each purchase of a photo with Santa, a portion/percentage of proceeds will be donated to support the mission of Autism Speaks’ important research and advocacy. This family-friendly event allows children with special needs to experience the annual magic of the holidays in safe, controlled environment, featuring alternative seating options for children taking photos with Santa, as well as muted lights, quiet music, and reduced center traffic to help lessen sensory stimuli. Children will also enjoy healthy snacks, crafts, letters to Santa, and much more. Paddock Mall remains focused on providing a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone. In addition to our already rigorous cleaning practices, guests will also find hand sanitization stations located throughout the town center. We ask that everyone conduct themselves in a safe and respectful way in accordance with all federal, state, and local regulations, recommendations and health mandates, as well as each individual retailer’s policies. Marion County’s only climate-controlled destination, Paddock Mall is a highly visited location for shoppers of all ages in Ocala, Florida.
