Santa at the Galleria Mall
It wouldn’t be Christmas without a visit to the big man himself, Santa Claus. The Galleria Mall in Fort Lauderdale has Santa set up on the upper level of the mall, waiting to talk and take pictures with your children. Santa, with his real beard, will be at the mall through December 24th.
