🎅 Sensory-Friendly Santa Experience Coming to Lacey

Sensory Tool House is hosting its annual Sensory-Friendly Santa Meet-and-Greet, offering a peaceful and personalized alternative to the usual noisy, crowded Santa setups. This event is designed specifically for neurodivergent kids and sensory-sensitive families, with an experience that puts comfort, control, and joy front and center.

🌟 What Makes It Different?
Unlike your typical mall Santa visit, this event is thoughtfully structured around the needs of each child. Here's what families can expect:

• 15-minute private session with Santa — no lines, no rush

• Dimmed lights and a quiet, low-stimulation environment

• Santa takes behavioral and sensory cues directly from the parent or caregiver

• Families can choose the pace, the conversation, and the flow of the interaction

• Every child is given the space and time to regulate, relax, and enjoy the moment

It’s a deeply personalized experience — no overwhelming music, no pressure to smile on cue, just space to be exactly who you are.

📸 What’s Included in the Experience?
Tickets are $45 per family, and each reservation includes:

• One printed photo with Santa

• All digital copies for you to download and share

• Cookies, hot cider, and cocoa for the whole family

• A small holiday gift for each child

• 1:1 time in a supportive, sensory-aware space

There are no upsells — just one flat fee for a fully inclusive experience that prioritizes the wellbeing of your child and the ease of your family.

💬 Why It Matters
Not every child thrives in loud, overstimulating environments — and not every family fits the traditional mold of the holiday season. This event is a reminder that inclusion isn’t just nice — it’s necessary.

By offering a space where all children feel seen, respected, and supported, Sensory Tool House is creating more than a photo-op… they’re creating a core memory.
