Mission Valley, an open-air shopping center located in San Diego, California (https://www.mission-valley.com), invites children and their families to come meet Santa, share holiday wish lists, and take coveted family photos with Old St. Nick in the center’s beautifully decorated AMC Theatres Court beginning at 11 a.m. on Thursday, November 21st. Opportunities for professional photos with Santa will begin immediately following Santa’s arrival at the center. Professional photo packages start at $39.99. To reduce overall wait times, families are strongly encouraged to make a reservation in advance of their visit. While strongly encouraged, a reservation is not required, and walk-up visits will be accommodated on a space-available basis. Guests making an advance reservation will receive a free personalized phone call from Santa before their visit. In addition to paid professional photos, the center’s beautiful Santa set will also include a variety of no-cost selfie opportunities. Also on November 21st, at 6 p.m., the center will celebrate Santa’s arrival with a family-friendly event featuring complimentary hot cocoa and children’s crafts (while supplies last), and at 6:30 p.m., Mission Valley will raffle one free Santa photo package; this event is free and open to the public and no pre-registration is required.
