About this adventure

Santa sets up for the season at The Shops at Wiregrass, the open-air shopping center in Wesley Chapel, from mid-November until Christmas Eve. New this year he greets families in Santa's Cottage, a little house on the walkway between Pottery Barn and Signature Workspace, so the visit happens in its own space rather than a center-court line. Families book a time slot online and come for a photo with Santa; first-timers with babies are as welcome as kids who come every year. Some days on Santa's calendar have optional themes (a Cowboy Claus day, for example), but regular photos are available on those days too; only Pet Night and the Santa Cares session are set aside for their own purpose. Booking online also brings a personalized digital message from Santa before the visit and a Shutterfly discount on prints and holiday cards.
