The Southwest Plaza Mall has partnered with Mattel to introduce a new holiday adventure that will be memorable for the entire family. Santa’s Toy Factory will open on November 18 in the center court area of the shopping center.
The holiday season is MY season. It is the time of year that I feel most at peace, most alive and most aware of everyone and everything around me. I try to keep that sentiment and those feelings around by decorating for various holidays, playing holiday music year round (yes, I do) and counting my blessings every moment I get. However, this time of year I shine! I am ready to see and do everything so when it was time to set up our Santa meeting, I wanted to find the perfect fit for our family! Southwest Plaza Mall has been a mall that I attended regularly with my grandmother before her passing. She often took us there to see the Santa and keeping her spirit alive and building traditions with my family are so important to me.
This year Santa’s Toy Factory includes a partnership with Mattel. Barbie, Hot Wheels, Thomas and Friends, these are all toy brands that I grew up loving and my kids are finding their passions for as well. We are so excited to visit Santa and help him design and build those toys that we have grown to love while going through Santa’s Toy Factory!
Here’s a bit more about Santa’s Toy Factory:

Santa’s Toy Factory is designed to empower creativity through an interactive, immersive experience to meet Santa. Within the 1,600 square-foot space, young guests will have the opportunity to “test” new toys in Santa’s Factory before they get delivered to all the boys and girls on Christmas morning. After they “test” the toys, they visit different stations to digitally design, build and paint toys from Mattel’s iconic brands including Barbie®, Hot Wheels®, and Thomas & Friends™.. The grand finale, of course, will be meeting Santa himself for photos and to share their holiday wish list.
“We are proud to be partnering with Mattel to bring this new, one-of-a-kind holiday concept to life,” said Greg Sims, general manager of Southwest Plaza. “We are always looking for ways to introduce new brands and experiences to our community and can’t wait to showcase Santa’s Toy Factory this holiday season. We know our guests will embrace it.”
The experience with Santa’s Toy Factory is free-of-charge and photo packages begin at $39.99. To make reservations to ensure quicker access, please click HERE.

Southwest Plaza is located at 8501 West Bowles Ave and is home to a plethora of high-quality tenants including H&M, Francesca’s and Forever 21.
