Santa Claus is Back at Walden Galleria for Photo Opportunities

Don't call it a comeback! Santa Clause will be at the Walden Galleria this year for pictures. He will be located on the lower level between the Apple store and Clarks. This is the perfect chance for children and pets to take Christmas pics with Santa. He will be there this Friday, November 19 right up until Christmas Eve, Friday, December 24, 2021. The scene will be set just right for a holiday card with a fireplace, presents, and Christmas trees.

There will be plenty of fun and magic, as well as a focus on health and safety. Same as last year, a plexiglass guard will be placed in front of Santa for the safety of all visitors.

You'll be allowed to remove your mask for the picture with Santa. Reservations are strongly encouraged. Walk-ups will be fit in where possible.
