Sensory Santa

Layton Hills Mall is proud to present Sensory Santa, a special holiday experience designed to provide a calm, welcoming, and sensory-friendly environment for children of all abilities. Presented in partnership with Awesome Autism, the event offers families an opportunity to enjoy meaningful time with Santa in a supportive setting tailored to sensory needs. During this dedicated hour, children who may experience sensory sensitivities will have the opportunity to spend time with Santa in a relaxed, low-stimulation environment. Music will be lowered, lighting softened, and crowd levels intentionally reduced to create a comfortable experience for every family.
