This Christmas, meet Santa in a relaxed, low-sensory environment.
At Sensory Santa, you can enjoy one-on-one time with Santa and his helper in a quiet setting at the Baldivis Indoor Sports Complex.
To give as many families as possible the opportunity to attend, each family will be allocated one 15-minute session. Santa will be mindful of your needs and with a dedicated timeslot, you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the experience with minimal waiting.
This event is targeted towards neurodivergent individuals and families, and people with sensory sensitivities.
