Eager children and their families can experience the joy and magic of the holiday season with a visit to the Simon® Santa Photo Experience at Walt Whitman Shops. Children can visit and be photographed with Santa through Christmas Eve Saturday, December 24 in Center Court.

“One of the great traditions of holiday shopping at Walt Whitman Shops is the annual family visit to the Simon Santa Photo Experience,” said Dave Ackerman, director of marketing and business development at Walt Whitman Shops. “I know Santa can’t wait to greet children bringing him their holiday wishes.”

The popular Pet Photo Nights return to the Simon Santa Photo Experience at Walt Whitman Shops this year. Many pet owners view their pet as an integral member of the family and are just as committed in caring for their pets as their “human” family members. Pet Photo Nights are hosted after regular mall closing and the set gets an extensive cleaning following the event to remove any potential risk to allergy sufferers. Pet Photo Nights at Walt Whitman Shops will be on, Sunday, November 27 and Sunday, December 11 from 7 to 9 p.m.

The 2016 Simon Santa Photo Experience and Pet Photo Nights are also sponsored by Universal Pictures Home Entertainment which is celebrating the highly-anticipated release of “The Secret Life of Pets,” available on Digital HD November 22 and on Blu-ray and DVD December 6. Come visit the Simon Santa Photo Experience and receive a fun-filled activity sheet, a custom The Secret Life of Pets holiday headband, and watch highlights from the movie.

This holiday season, Simon invites everyone to celebrate “The Joy of Giving.” Giving is contagious and this season Simon invites everyone to pass that spirit on and ‘Give Love,’ ‘Give Sparkle,’ ‘Give Warmth,’ and ‘Give Fun.’ Join Simon to experience the season’s good cheer with the best of holiday shopping and entertainment.

Starting on Black Friday, guests can get their gifts beautifully wrapped and ready for giving by visiting the Charity Wrap station, which supports local organizations. In addition, the Make-a-Wish Angel campaign will have a presence at Walt Whitman Shops from December 9 through 18, giving shoppers the opportunity to fulfill a child’s wish for the holidays.

Guests to every Simon Photo Experience will have another opportunity to share Santa’s heart by making a donation via The Noerr Programs to Save the Children. For nearly 100 years, this non-profit has given underserved children in the U.S. a healthy start, the opportunity to learn and protection from harm. Since this program began five years ago, Noerr has collected over $1,000,000 largely due to the generosity of Simon shoppers.
