Santa's Village, Jefferson, New Hampshire

Santa's Village is a great place to visit both during the summer and the winter! Upon arrival, be sure to visit Alphabet University to obtain punch card. Throughout the park you will find Elves, each with their name starting with a different letter of the alphabet. After finding (punching card) all of the elves, children will receive a small prize. :) Enjoy a sleigh ride or train ride through or over the park to see all of the park offerings or to rest tired feet. Enjoy a show at Dashers Gazebo, The Polar Theatre or Jingle Jamboree. Feed the reindeer and play some reindeer games. Children and adults will enjoy driving antique cars, bumper cars, riding Rudolph's Rollercoaster (fun but mild ride), as well many others. Too hot? Take a break and cool off with the waterpark which was added just a few years ago. Also includes a splash pad for the wee ones. Ample food venues and restaurants available including the opportunity for children to decorate their own gingerbread cookies! Grandparents looking for a slower paced activity? They might enjoy touring the beauiful gardens or boat ride through the park. Most rides are open during the winter as well. Enjoy some hot chocolate as you walk through the park lit and decorated for the holidays!

My family (husband and 9 year old son) visited Santa's Village for a full day in October. Santa's Village is a Christmas themed amusement park where it is Christmas all year round. The walkways are lined with bushes, shrubs and different types of greenery which is quite pleasant. We started off at Santa's Post Office which offers personalized letters from Santa mailed the first week of December at $4 each. My son enjoyed getting the letter later in the year and was surprised at the "details" it contained. We found the overall atmosphere to be relaxing and we easily slid right into the Christmas spirit. Santa's Village offers some different rides and experiences such as The Skyway Sleigh which is a monorail that sails 30 feet above the ground. It was a smooth pleasant ride and a great way to see the park from above. We played The Elfabet Game as an added scavenger hunt style family activity. Our favorite stop was the Reindeer Rendezvous when we fed the live reindeer. The food was quite reasonable and we were delighted to find many healthy options including carrots and celery snacks. Great day spent at Santa's Village. We especially enjoyed the variety of activities, well manicured gardens and greenery while we celelbrated Christmas in the fall.
