Free Santa visits are back at Colorado Cabela’s & Bass Pro Shops

Nov 13, 2025, 4:13 PM | Updated: 4:14 pm

Nothing against mall Santa’s, except they usually make you buy a super expensive picture if you want your kid’s to sit on their laps…

I am all about FREE as a dad of three, so the last few years we’ve visited Santa at Bass Pro Shops… Who did not pay me to tell you about this, by the way. I just like a good deal, and telling you about the ones I find.

Santa has once again set up his workshop at Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s retail destinations across Colorado, and the U.S., allowing families to visit and receive a FREE 4×6 studio-quality photo with Santa, as well as a festive video featuring the photo for all guests providing an email address.

Visitors will enjoy a variety of holiday giveaways during weekday visits, including candy canes and special gifts (while supplies last), including:

  • Nov. 3-Nov. 21: Wood Ornament Craft
  • Nov. 24-Dec. 5: Colorable Frames
  • Dec. 8-24: Shrink Art

You can find a location and even reserve a time for your kids to spend with Santa here.
