Park West is hosting its Sensory-Friendly Santa Cares event on Sunday, December 9 from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. The West Valley shopping center has partnered with Cherry Hill Programs and Autism Speaks for a second year to provide a Santa experience for families with kids and adults with special needs of all kinds. Schedule a time with Santa in a sensory-safe, quiet and inviting environment. Experience the holiday magic at your own pace, away from high volume shopping traffic and distractions.

Visits with Santa are welcome and always free, and photo packages are available for purchase. Space is limited and families are encouraged to reserve a time in advance once the tickets are available by visiting shopparkwest.com under the events section or at autismspeaks.org/santa. Park West is located at 9744 W. Northern Ave., Suite 1620, Peoria, Arizona 85345, southeast of Harkins Theatres.
