Bass Pro Shops in Irvine has turned its store into a winter wonderland through Dec. 24, offering free 4×6 photos with Santa and a full lineup of family activities. Visitors can make an online reservation to secure a photo slot up to seven days in advance. Spots are limited, and additional photo packages are available for purchase.

Beyond the photos, families can enjoy hands-on holiday games, toy stations, crafts and weekday giveaways. Every Tuesday at 5 p.m. through Dec. 23, Santa or Mrs. Claus hosts a holiday storytime followed by photos. Reservations are required. More information is available here. 

The store is at Alton Marketplace, 71 Technology Drive West, just off I-5.
