Santa Claus is making his annual stop at Bass Pro Shops in Hampton, bringing a little North Pole magic to the holiday season with the return of Santa’s Wonderland.
The festivities kick off Saturday, November 7, at 5 p.m., when Santa makes his grand arrival. Families can enjoy a festive outdoor celebration featuring seasonal treats, holiday activities, a tree-lighting celebration and a free mini reindeer plush giveaway for kids while supplies last.
Beginning November 8, visitors can stop by Santa’s Wonderland for a free 4-by-6-inch photo with Santa and a complimentary shareable digital video. Santa is happy to take a photo with your four-legged family members!
Families can also enjoy children's crafts, interactive activities and a chance to drop off letters in Santa's mailbox. Kids who include an email address with their letters will receive a reply from Santa.
Additional holiday activities include free weekday giveaways, with Santa ornament crafts available November 9–27 and Bass Pro sticker-by-number sheets offered November 30–December 18, while supplies last.
