I’m sorry that was your experience. Those are the hours that were listed on the Santa photo website that is linked within the article (pasted directly fron the website). The mall does not have an updated website or Facebook page, so those are the only hours we could report.
Sarah says
The hours for the Santa Experience at Indian Mound mall were completely inaccurate. Showed up, doors locked, devastated kids.
