Santa’s Wonderland: What you need to know before you go
Kidding Around Guest Contributor Lauren Justus brought her family to Cabela’s of Greenville for a visit with Santa and now she’s sharing everything you need to know before you go for your visit with the big man in red.
Plan Ahead
In order to visit Santa’s Wonderland, you are required to make a free online reservation with Santa. It takes just a minute to register and you will receive a confirmation email with your booking date and time.
Reservations are available up to seven days in advance, November 6-December 24, 2022. No walk-ins are allowed at this time.
How It Works
Upon arrival, one of Santa’s helpers will ask to see your booking confirmation. After your photo is taken, each family will receive a complimentary 4 x 6 print as part of their free online booking. There are additional packages available for purchase.
Extra Touches
Before our exit, Santa’s helpers provided our children with an individually packaged holiday activity kit full of festive surprises. They were also given a huge candy cane and a “Letter for Santa” printout to send to the North Pole in the coming weeks!
There is a letterbox at Santa’s Wonderland so you can send your list!
