West Town Mall provides children with all spectrums of special needs and their families with an opportunity to enjoy this time-honored holiday tradition through a sensory-friendly Caring Santa on Sunday, December 2 from 8-9:30 a.m. Guests can register in advance at simon.com/caringsanta. Caring Santa events have expanded from seven Simon malls in 2011 to 111 Simon malls today, reflecting the positive impact of this unique program.

The popular Pet Photo Night also returns to the Simon Santa Photo Experience at West Town Mall this year. Many pet owners view their pet as an integral member of the family and are just as committed in caring for their pets as their “human” family members. Pet Photo night is hosted after regular mall hours and the set gets an extensive cleaning following the event to remove any potential risk to allergy sufferers. Pet Photo Night at West Town Mall will be on Sunday, November 18 and Sunday, December 9 from 6 – 7 p.m.

The Simon Santa Photo Experience is again sponsored by Gymboree Group. Gymboree Group is a specialty retailer operating stores selling high-quality apparel and accessories for children under the Gymboree, Gymboree Outlet, Janie and Jack and Crazy 8 brands.

“One of the great traditions of holiday shopping at West Town Mall is the annual family visit to the Simon Santa Photo Experience,” said Kippy Price, director of marketing and business development at West Town Mall. “With a brand new and improved set this year, I know Santa can’t wait to greet children bringing him their holiday wishes.”
