A true mountain village for Santa’s Workshop
Kris Kringle couldn’t have picked a better spot to set up shop. At 7,500 feet above sea level—The North Pole sits at the foot of Pikes Peak and offers crisp mountain air and panoramic views of Colorado Springs and the Pikes Peak Region. Since we are a true “mountain park,” we encourage you to wear comfortable shoes for the most magical time here at Santa’s Workshop.

Stroll down memory lane
Spreading Christmas cheer since 1956.
In 1955, 25 acres of land on the South slope of Pikes Peak was dedicated to Santa’s Workshop. Designed by former Walt Disney artist, Arto Monaco, the village was constructed of 12 alpine buildings including a home for Mr. and Mrs. Claus, three workshops, a blacksmith shop, gate house, reindeer barn, souvenir shop, show house, and Mother Hubbard’s Cupboard.
The North Pole has expanded since then, but the pure joy of the Christmas spirit has remained intact for 65 years.
