The event is set to take place on Sunday, Dec. 4 from 9 a.m. to 10 a.m. Ala Moana intends to provide a safe environment that will allow keiki with sensory sensitivities to enjoy time with Santa at their own pace and with their needs in mind.
Ala Moana is encouraging families to book an appointment for their keiki for the event to ensure their spot is saved. The new Santa area is located on Level 3, Center Court next to Abercrombie & Fitch.
