There’s so much more to explore

In addition to our rides and attractions, there’s still so much to explore inside Santa’s Village. Take in a show with Elmer the Elf, or watch our glass blower create beautiful custom ornaments before your eyes. There’s so much magic here at The North Pole you can plan a full day of family fun.
