Events

Orange Park

Held before the mall opens, this event offers a quiet, comfortable environment where families can take their time enjoying the moment. Children will have the opportunity to visit Santa without the usual holiday hustle and bustle, making it easier to capture those cherished memories in a calm and welcoming setting. Along with their visit to Santa, families can enjoy holiday treats and crafts, plus a special appearance from Mrs. Claus, adding even more festive cheer to the morning. We’re also excited to welcome some very special guests from the Clay Humane Society—the Teal Paws therapy pups will be on hand to spread extra joy and warm holiday snuggles. To help ensure every family has time with Santa, reservations for photos are highly recommended.
