With a job right near the Fashion Outlets of Chicago and a direct route off 294, we LOVE heading out to the Rosemont area and spending time in this haven. So when we had the opportunity to check out Santa HQ coming to the Fashion Outlets, I knew Charlie and Jack would not want to miss a beat! #SantaHQ #LoveHGTV
The new Santa HQ invites families to experience the wonder of Santa’s workshop in the digital and social media age with augmented reality and a unique social media experience. The brainchild of Fashion Outlets Way of Rosemont and HGTV – this unique experience is one that your family won’t soon forget.

The boys and I had an opportunity to visit Santa HQ and check out this new high tech version of the Santa Meet and Greet and after downloading the app on our iPad (Elf Ray Vision), we were ready to see the Elves in action! Point your camera at a trigger and watch the Elves in Santa’s workshop get to work (How fun is that?!) Here’s some of our adventures:
Jack could have stayed here for hours. He LOVED Elf-ing himself.
A little mini winter wonderland right in the Fashion Outlets!
The control center where all the magic happens!
Getting some astute lessons and checking out the Elf coming out of the building with gifts! (Seriously, SUCH an amazing feature!)
This guy is high up on the nice list. I was personally pretty shocked.
Last stop? A picture with Mr. Claus himself!
Aren’t they all adorable? (And what a great setup for kids to peruse and enjoy while they wait to get their pictures taken with Santa!
