Eager children and their families can experience the joy and magic of the holiday season with a visit to the Simon® Santa Photo Experience at Simon Malls across New England. Children can whisper wishes and capture photo memories with Santa at select Simon Malls throughout November through Christmas Eve, December 24.
At select Simon malls, save time, avoid the line with Santa by Appointment! Now you can reserve your magical moment with Santa online at simonsanta.com. Photo packages and pricing vary, inquire at the Santa set.
The Simon Santa Photo Experience is again sponsored by GYMBOREE GROUP. The 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.
The 2017 Simon Santa Photo Experience is also sponsored by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment which is celebrating the highly-anticipated release of “Despicable Me 3,” available on Digital and Digital 3D November 21 and on 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray™, DVD and On Demand December 5. Come visit the Simon Santa Photo Experience and receive a fun-filled Despicable Me 3 activity sheet and watch highlights from the movie.
“One of the great traditions of holiday shopping at Simon Malls across New England is the annual family visit to the Simon Santa Photo Experience,” says Michael Merrow, regional vice president, Simon New England. “I know Santa can’t wait to greet children bringing him their holiday wishes.”
Guests to every Simon Photo Experience will have another opportunity to share Santa’s heart by making a donation via The Cherry Hill Programs to Save the Children. For nearly 100 years, this non-profit has given underserved children in the U.S. a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. Since this program began five years ago, Cherry Hill Programs has collected over $1,000,000 largely due to the generosity of Simon shoppers.
Additional holiday programming details regarding Pet Photos with Santa, Caring Santa, Santa celebrations, community partnerships, and more will be announced soon.
