Last Full Week For Santa Photos At Strongsville Mall

STRONGSVILLE, OH — Several holiday promotions at SouthPark Mall will come to an end on Dec. 24 and Dec. 25. The iconic photos with Santa opportunity will end the day before Christmas, so parents and kids should plan on squeezing in time with the big guy before the weekend is over.

Santa is at SouthPark Mall from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. from Monday through Saturday. On Sunday, Santa is available 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. All children that take a picture with Santa get a keepsake, and photo packages start at $25.

Along with the photos with Santa promotion, the mall will also end its complimentary gift-wrapping station on Christmas Eve. Staffed by local non-profit volunteers, the wrapping station is free but a $1 donation is recommended.
