Southridge Mall: 2017 Holiday Hours, Santa Visit and More!

GREENDALE, WI — Santa comes to Southridge Mall starting Saturday, Nov. 11 and will be around until he has to disappear for his traditional Christmas toy delivery on Dec. 24.

“One of the great traditions of holiday shopping at Southridge Mall is the annual family visit to the Simon Santa Photo Experience,” said Cheryl Rouse, of Southridge Mall. “I know Santa can’t wait to greet children bringing him their holiday wishes.”

Children can whisper wishes and capture photo memories with Santa in center court. Families can save time and avoid the line by reserving a time with Santa online at simonsanta.com.

Southridge Mall also provides children with special needs and their families with an opportunity to enjoy this time-honored holiday tradition through a sensory-friendly Caring Santa event in partnership with Autism Speaks. Caring Santa is on Sunday, December 3, from 7:30-9 a.m., prior to the mall opening. Guests can register in advance at simon.com/caringsanta.

For local pet owners, the popular Pet Photo Nights with Santa will occur on Sunday, December 10, from 8-10 p.m.

According to mall officials, Southridge Mall will have extended shopping hours throughout the holiday season, and will randomly delight shoppers with gift cards, shopping totes, and other surprises throughout the season.

The mall will also host a Giving Tree for the Salvation Army, where shoppers can select an Angel Tag, purchase a gift, and place it in the giant gift box by the Giving Tree. The toys will be distributed children in need throughout the greater Milwaukee area.

In addition, Southridge Mall will offer a gift wrapping service during select hours throughout the holiday season, and will showcase local community groups in its annual holiday concert series.
