Waiting in a noisy line for a booming stranger to put his arms around you is not for every child. That's why some venues host a Sensitive Santa with accommodations made for kids with sensory issues. Called a “Caring Santa” in some communities, we are pleased to have discover these Santa photo opp events in the East Bay.
In nearly all cases, advance registration is required in order to secure your spot and avoid those crowds.
