Citadel Outlets’ Santa Cares Program Returns This Holiday Season

Citadel Outlets’ Santa Cares program is returning this holiday season and will give guests with special needs the opportunity to enjoy their visit with Santa without distraction.

So what does the Santa Cares event offer? Taking into consideration the needs of some individuals, this special opportunity creates a calmer atmosphere to meet Santa! In addition to reserving a time as to not overwhelm guests, the music will be turned down and the lights will be dimmed creating a calmer space.

This special opportunity will be offered December 4 and 11 from 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. to make the visit with Santa more manageable for children with various disabilities. Citadel Outlets will be using a reservation system for the event and will provide a quiet waiting area for families who prefer not to wait in line to meet Santa. Photo opportunities will be available with him in his sleigh and his house has been flown in from the North Pole creating the perfect set up for seasonal selfie.
