Cabela’s Santa Wonderland Opens Soon for 2024
Santa usually arrives at Santa’s Wonderland at Cabela’s in Grandville shortly after Halloween.
Reservations open seven days prior.
This is one of the earliest places in the West Michigan area where you can see Santa.
Cabela’s also has locations in Michigan in:
– Saginaw
– Auburn Hills
– Chesterfield
– Dundee
Cabela’s in Grandville is located at 3000 44th Street SW, Grandville, Michigan, 49418.
Get a Free 4×6 Photo with Santa
Every year, Cabela’s and Bass Pro Shop locations across the US transform a part of their store into Santa’s Wonderland.
Part of the magic for parents is that the whole experience is free, including a free 4×6 picture with Santa. You just need to make a reservation.
(Cabela’s Club Members can opt to purchase an exclusive photo package for only $20 when purchased with a CLUB Mastercard.)
Mail Santa Letters & See the Aquarium
During your visit, families can mail letters to Santa and receive free giveaways while supplies last.
Families can also enjoy the amazing aquariums and wildlife displays found in every Cabela’s store.
Take Your Christmas Card Pic in Front of Their Gorgeous Backdrop
Be sure to stop by the fireplace and giant Christmas tree up front for a picture-perfect photo opp.
When they saw this pic, my family asked how I got such a big tree in my house (which they know doesn’t have a fireplace). Thanks for the beautiful backdrop, Cabela’s!
Appointments Needed to Visit Santa’s Wonderland
Advance reservations are required to visit with Santa.
Appointments are available one week from the current day.
All new appointments are released at 12:01 AM for the next available day. If all slots show UNAVAILABLE, this means all bookings have been reserved for those dates and times.
There is no fee. To make a reservation, visit the reservation portal, input your zip code, and choose an open time slot.
If something comes up and you can’t make it, it’s super easy to cancel. Just reply to their text and that’s it!
But don’t let a lack of appointment stop you from trying to see Santa. In 2023, there was a separate line for walk-ups – no reservation required!
