Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s Welcome Dogs to Santa’s Wonderland in Nevada

Holiday shopping can come with a little extra magic for Nevada families this year, including those who want to bring their dogs along. Bass Pro Shops and Cabela’s are bringing back Santa’s Wonderland, offering free visits with Santa, seasonal activities and a chance to capture a holiday memory with the whole family, four-legged members included.

The 2026 season runs November 8th through December 24th at two Nevada locations: Bass Pro Shops in Las Vegas and Cabela’s in Verdi, near Reno. Reservations to see Santa open November 1st, and booking ahead is recommended, especially for popular weekend times.

Each visit includes a free 4-by-6-inch photo with Santa and a free shareable video, giving families more than one way to hold on to the moment. Admission is free, making Santa’s Wonderland an option for holiday fun without the cost of a traditional photo package.

Two Nevada Locations for Holiday Visits

Families can visit Santa’s Wonderland at either of Nevada’s participating stores:

• Bass Pro Shops Las Vegas: 8200 Dean Martin Drive, Las Vegas, NV 89139. Phone: (702) 730-5200.
• Cabela’s Reno (Verdi): 8650 Boomtown Garson Road, Verdi, NV 89439. Phone: (775) 829-4100.

Reservations open November 1st through the respective Bass Pro Shops Santa’s Wonderland page and Cabela’s Santa’s Wonderland page.

Holiday Shopping for Dogs, Too

Santa’s Wonderland arrives during a busy season for shopping, and both retailers offer plenty to explore beyond the holiday photo experience. Dog owners can browse the stores’ pet-related merchandise while picking up seasonal gifts, outdoor gear and other items for the people on their lists.

Whether you’re looking for something for a dog who joins every outdoor adventure or a holiday surprise for a fellow pet lover, it’s an opportunity to combine seasonal shopping with a festive outing. Bringing your dog along can make the trip feel like part of the celebration, rather than another errand on the holiday to-do list.

A Holiday Memory Worth Reserving

For Nevada dog owners, Santa’s Wonderland offers a chance to include their pets in a holiday tradition while keeping the visit budget-friendly. The free photo and shareable video make it easy to save the memory, whether your dog sits proudly beside Santa or has other ideas about how a holiday portrait should go.

Before heading out, reserve a time through the appropriate retailer’s website and confirm any current pet-entry requirements with the store. With the season running from November 8th through December 24th, there’s time to plan a visit, but reserving early is a good idea for families hoping to find a convenient time.
