DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY!! There is rat crap everywhere in the little crappy houses /attractions things the kids can go in. We took our 3 and 5 year old grand girls there and this place has gone down hill. I wished there was actually a way of posting a no star. You should definitely go visit! There were never any lines and my kids got to Ride again and again. They are so hot and really look ridiculous. Please don't make your employees wear those goofy elf hats. And another family feeding COOKIES to the huskies. There was one family that was aggravating the cheetah just to hear it hiss and growl and then laughed about it. The animal section could really benefit from someone to educate guests and just keep an eye out. I wished that employees were easier to come by. Between the rides, the animals, and the boats we most definitely got our money's worth. $2.50 sno cones too! There was so much shade, and even a huge playground on the back of the park. The paddle boat rides were so much fun - koi fish swimming all around, with $1.50 bags of food to feed them. I echo many of the comments already made in these reviews. For the money I couldn't recommend it enough. We spent about three and a half hours here with my two grandchildren, ages three and six. The park is quite clean and in great shape and really it’s a great value for the fun your family will have. We didn’t have to wait in line for anything but we couldn’t get enough and wanted to explore every inch. We were fully unprepared for the amount of time we ended up spending at Santa’s Land. They were enormous and very entertaining. Definitley head back to the paddle boats and buy a bag of food for the koi. The rides are geared toward smaller children but we all had fun, including my 10 year old. Feeding deer was very special for my 3 year old who loves watching the deer in our yard and has always wanted to pet them. My kids loved riding the train from one part of the park to the other, meeting a really great Santa Claus who is always present to greet kids, watching the awesome magician, and see all the animals. Believe me when I tell you you MUST check this place out if you are in the area. It’s a really special piece of 60’s Americana and the reviews just did not prepare me for how wonderful it was going to be from the oversized characters: an Easter bunny, a snow man, a kangaroo with a pouch you can climb into, an igloo, and Santa’s sleigh, to the old school metal playground equipment my husband and I grew up with, to the charming animatronic elf scene. Oh my goodness! I cannot believe the number of folks I know who have stayed in the area and never visited Santa’s Land.
