Simply pick up a wristband valid for a specific time and then return for your reservation. In the meantime, get some holiday shopping out of the way!

Santa Claus Is Back in Town at Memorial City

Make a reservation to meet Santa Clause at St. Nick’s Park in the Dillard Court of Memorial City. Reserve a spot at MemorialCity.com/Santa or in person. The annual experience is back with an updated layout to encourage physical distancing. You will also see new health-and-safety protocols, including face masks on all staff and patrons, temperature checks, and sanitizing. This event is perfect for children, and each photo package includes passes to Ice Skate Memorial City and Memorial City Carousel.

Caring Santa
Memorial City will also have Caring Santa, a sensory-friendly opportunity for children with special needs to enjoy the time-honored tradition of a visit with Santa. The music and lights will be turned down so they can have the Santa Photo Experience in a calming environment with their family prior to public hours. Come out to St. Nick’s Park at Memorial City Mall on Sunday, 9:00-10:30 a.m. on December 6 or 13.

Memorial City Brightens the Holidays

Ready to feel merry and bright? Visit Memorial City after sunset to see the more than 3 million lights all around Memorial City. On Friday, November 13, Santa Claus turned the lights on and magically illuminated the area with the help of students from Shadow Oaks Elementary. Now you can enjoy the beautiful display with your family through the end of the holiday season!
