As meet and greets with Santa go, they don't get much more exciting than a big wheel experience.
Little ones can hop on board a Ferris wheel for a chat with the big man and his elves at Santa in the Sky at Cheshire Oaks.
The wheel will form part of this year's Winter Village at the site, where there'll be a 'spectacular' 90ft Christmas tree and 'iconic' festive decorations.
As well as taking flight with Santa for the 10-minute trip, children will receive a complimentary hot chocolate, festive cookie, personalised lanyard and reindeer food to take home.

Tickets for Santa in the Sky will go on sale from Monday, November 13 at 10am and are likely to sell out so don't hang around if you're wanting to book.
Prices have yet to be released, but there's one price to do the wheel and you upgrade to have Santa inside the pod with you.
The Winter Village opens on December 1 and will include sensory sessions inside the iconic Christmas Tree for the first hour of every open day - accommodating anyone with sensory or access needs.
There'll also be bookable Christmas huts for guests to snuggle up in whilst enjoying a festive drink or a bratwurst straight from the swing grill.
Kenny Murray, general manager at McArthurGlen Designer Outlet Cheshire Oaks, said: “Celebrating joy this season, we are pleased to announce that Christmas is officially coming to Cheshire Oaks Designer Outlet this December. Bringing back our much-loved Winter Village and the return of last year’s Santa in the Sky experience, we have made sure our guests will have an unforgettable experience visiting our centre this festive season."
Santa in the Sky runs Friday to Sunday from December 1 to 10 and then daily from December 16 to 21. See more details on the website.
