Great park with lots to do for all ages. Definitely buy tickets online, NOT at the door. Online we paid $35 each and that was a stretch. The fact that all the rides are free with admission and also parking is free, is a good thing. The lines could get extremely long. There is no "good time" to go but it's your typical county fair plus a bunch of Christmas decorations. The express pass is not worth it neither is the season pass. read more

I had so much fun here it is a bit embarrassing to say. I am fairly new to Fort Lauderdale and a friend of mine said that she hadn't been since she was a child so suggested that we go and take her cousin. The drive was excruciating! Stop and go traffic all the way but it was worth it once we got there. I love rides and we spent much of the time there either on rides or trying to regain our composure. Besides being constantly heckled by employees at the stands trying to get us to play their carnival games, it was quite enjoyable. The evening made for many laughs and fond memories. I hope to take my siblings next year and I feel lucky to know about this gem now. read more

We've been coming to Santa's once or twice per year for the last few years and while I've never been a big fan, my kids enjoy it so I suck it up and make the best of it. I love: Their Santa ! He's really sweet and kind. Big plus! He's the reason for the 2nd star. Their lights throughout their entrance is nice to look at. The reasons why I'll never come: Bathrooms are disgusting without running water Water (this year) is ONLY able to be purchased through the vending machines that don't take cards or anything above $1 bills (they cost $3 each) MANY of their employees are rude- this year their big complaint (unsolicited as I only engaged to ask questions about where some rides were) was that they "pushed" to and earlier open and they had to miss Halloween with their families Speaking of earlier open- the big roller coaster and another ride my daughter liked wasn't there/yet open. If you're not going to have a fully functioning park, it would have been nice to know. Express passes: we don't usually go weekends because it's packed but had some family in town so we went and purchased express. Their employees barely monitored and/or could care less. At almost every ride I had to ask if we could go through and many of them made us wait until one full round of people went on the other line. Waste of money. I've hit my breaking point. To spend approx $500 for the above (7 people above 9 years old) for 3 hours and this type of service/facility has made me never want to come back again. read more

For $105 entrance for two adults and child, there are a couple things to work on to make it worth it. First, traffic control police should be placed at least a block away from entrance. There are too many rude drivers cutting in front of long lines of entering cars. Second, the ticket lines areas need to be widened and controlled for the amount of people entering. On the bright side, the family enjoyed themselves. The food options were plentiful, healthy and non-healthy alike. read more

Honestly I just went for the food, which even for that had gone downhill a little bit. We made the best of it and still had a decent time. I do highly recommend the Argentinian Steak sandwiches that are located right across the first Frozen lemonade stand when you come in. Look for a blue and white letterhead sign and that the best steak sandwich you'll ever have. As for decoration and shows your average roadside attraction nothing really out of this world. The pricing for entrance has gone up to $36 from the $20-25 it use to be. Look forward to spending over $100 for everything. read more

This place is a dirty, disgusting, over priced glorified fair. Christmas lights in the entrance do not make this an "enchanted forest". Food DISGUSTING and a rip off. Not kid-friendly, nasty dressed teenagers making out all over the place. Price higher than advertised online, website broken and still wouldn't give the military discount even with ID. Begging for tips to use the bathroom. DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME OR MONEY!!! CRUEL TO ANIMALS- How is it legal!?!? read more

When I was a little girl the highlight of the holiday season was going to Santa's Enchanted Forest in Miami with my family. We would ride as many rides as we could, and we would eat the best arepas de choclo with cheese ever made, and other tasty treats. I went back this year with my own family. I boasted to my children that they were going to have the best time of their lives. When we got there the lights and Christmas displays were outstanding better than I remember. After that it all went down hill. We got the "best arepas de choclo with cheese" and they didn't taste the same. It had a lot more grease than I remember. I figured my taste buds must have changed since I got older, and maybe that was the reason I didn't like them anymore, but then again neither did my kids and my kids love arepas. The rides were OK but the lines were too long. It cost $37 To get in the park plus you had to pay another $20 for an express pass. After being there for a couple of hours one tends to use the restroom. After 34 years and charging what they charge to get in plus what they charge on the express passes you would figure they would install permanent restrooms with stalls and running water. But of course one had to use portapotties, and of course the lines to the portapotties were longer than the lines for the rides especially for the women's "restrooms" because the women usually had at least one child with them. Before heading out of the park we decided to have one more indulgence. We bought from a stand that was selling carne llanera and carne asada it had a Colombian and Venezuelan flag flying over it. We all ate from there, and then we went home. By the time we left the park it was midnight. When we all got home we all went to bed, however I woke up earlier than the rest because I started vomiting. The rest of my family quickly followed. My whole family has been sick with a "stomach virus" including fever and "more" for 3 straight days. This was not the experience I had when I was a child, and it was not the experience I wanted for my own children. I will never go back again. read more

I've been to Santa's Enchanted Forest which by transitive property means I've been to Nicaragua. In all fairness, I haven't been there in a few years because my socioeconomic status has vastly improved since then, but something tells me the demographics haven't changed all that much. Santa's is like an above-ground pool in the ghetto. It goes maybe 3 feet deep, there's no chlorine in it so there's mosquitoes and shit laying eggs all over the stagnant water, and you've got the O.G. in there day and night with a cigar in his mouth hollering at all the hood rats that walk by. Plus it's way over capacity and too many little kids are fucking everything up. The greatest thing about it is the snacks. I love me some elephant ears. Some people think it's just a funnel cake without the funneling action so you can get that in a lot of places, and while they may be right in theory, they're missing the key ingredients added in Santa's. You can't make tasty elephant ears without reusing the same oil you've been using since your traveling carnival started decades ago, and infusing it with the essence of carnies lacking ambition gives it the sweet diabetic kick start I enjoy. The attire for this place is typically what you would expect for a winter-themed recreational park; t-shirts, shorts, sometimes skorts worn by trendy 8-year-olds, that sort of thing. The last time I saw a sweater being worn in this park Clinton was president, and it was around someone's waist. Since I haven't been there lately I don't know if this is still protocol, but you used to be able to get in free by taking like 10 empty bags of Holsum bread. Or Pepsi cans. That was good stuff. Now I'm sure they charge you like $40 to walk through a house of mirrors where the mirrors are so fucking dirty you never get confused as to how to make your way out of it. Oh, and that jingle they play over the radio all the time? "Santaaaaaa's Enchanted Foreeeeeest" and then some hype girl gives the address only to repeat the chorus. The only way it could get worse is if they let T-Pain auto-tune it. The rides are typical carnival fare. About half as enjoyable as the Youth Fair rides, about half as safe. Oversight would be nice. Trusting a dude with missing teeth to verify the structural integrity of a metal rotating machine designed by Belgians in 1972 isn't at the top of my to-do list. I find it strange that nowadays parents won't let their kids play outside in a safe neighborhood unsupervised but they let them board a redneck death box with Cletus duct taping a safety panel. But, I mean, if you really like carnivals... PEOPLE WHO WOULD ENJOY IT: Nicaraguans. PEOPLE WHO WOULD NOY ENJOY IT: Non-Nicaraguans. read more

Horrible experience! The workers were homeless people off the street who were nodding off to drugs, like someone else stated. Scary considering young children were going on rides and nobody was even ensuring they were harnessed on. The people at the front were rude and completely inefficient. Don't waste your money on this read more

Let me start by saying Christmas is my favorite time of year and I had very high expectations. I went mainly for the food, which I heard was like fair food, only better. I was disappointed in the quality and selection of food around because most of the booths were repeated over and over throughout the park. The lines for the rides were very long and the Christmas light displays were slim. Overall, I was let down. Also, look forward to spending around $100 for a couple, the prices are fairly high. read more

Sure, this place was great when I was 6 years old. It seemed so humongous and filled with excitement back then. I revisited a couple of years ago, courtesy of my job (thank GOD i got in for free...I can think of a million and one better ways to spend that much money), and boy was I disappointed. To my amazement, the ornaments, puppets, and displays are exactly the same ones I remember from when I was 6...and who knows how long they were there before that. Frankly, they look like they're from 1947. As far as feeling safe in the rides, ummm... yea. Let me just say two things about that: 1) I almost fell out of the Himalaya ride when I was 12, and 2) I went in high school with some friends and remember walking by the Ring of Fire when the power suddenly went out (and the Ring of Fire got stuck upside down). Sure, there IS your fair share (no pun intended) of food...From elephant ears and corn on the cob to fried pickles and frozen lemonade. But, it's not like you can't get that at another carnival. The only good thing I have to say about Santa's Enchanted Forest is that the lights really are beautiful. But you don't need to pay the exorbitant price to experience those. Just look out your car window as you're driving on the 826. That should do. read more

In fact, I did not have many expectations. When we arrived he saw places of food everywhere and maybe it is not what anyone expects, but later you can see places with different Christmas atmospheres such as, Santa Hawaiian, mangers, cookie factory and many Christmas miniature representations. Then you can find attractions like roller coasters, chicago ferries and many other attractions, there are also shows like the smallest woman in the world, snake woman, fatal motorcycles and many places to win awards with marksmanship and all that. In conclusion, a liked this place. It's not a place for everyone, for example older people or very young children can not get on the attractions but for the rest it's a fun place with a variety of things to do. read more

Eh....the only way I would be coming back would be if they had a half off special. Entry fee was $25 a person. My little 3 person family....well, you do the math! It was a decently cute Christmas themed park. There was decent selection of rides for people of all levels of "motion tolerance." The highlight of my night was the mouse trap roller coaster. That was pretty wild and had my whole family laughing hysterically! What I absolutely could not stand were the carnies that harassed us every time we walked within 20 feet of their booth. One of them actually forcibly put a dart in my husband's hand after he already insisted he did not want to play their game. It was definitely worth the experience,but more of a "once in a lifetime" type of thing. read more

Took my family here last night- I've been wanting to go for years and always missed it. We spent $280 for the 4 of our tickets, and then fast passes. Parked and paid $20 to get a ride to the park. This has got to be one of the most scariest amusement parks I've been to. The ride attendants were nodding out on drugs. Multiple attendants at multiple rides not even knowing to start the ride and not realizing when the rides were ending so they could release harnesses or anything. We decided to leave, definitely did not feel safe having attendants drooling on themselves and practically unconscious operating a ride with my children in it. Never again. read more

I have made it a tradition to bring my daughter here each year. She's 13 now and still enjoys it. It's a highlight on its own letting her know that we are going and we always have a good time. It seems that the admission prices go up each year so we only go once per season. All the rides are included in the admission price. read more

I used to go to this place as a teenager and that was a lot of fun. I returned this weekend for the first time in almost two decades. My ten year old asked to go and I obliged. He had a great time, but my opinion is that it is very run down. Everything just looks old. read more

Ok, so the price tag to get into Santa's Enchanted Forest has held steady at a whopping 25$ for the past couple of years. Thankfully though, I think this has allowed them to keep a large staff cleaning up, update some of the displays and keep the food prices to a reasonable level. So we shell out our dough and make our way into the Christmas wonderland we all grew up looking forward to. Seeing the updated scenery was nice, and noticing just how many staffers were walking around sweeping up trash was reassuring too. Now, the purpose of our trip was to eat, and eat we did! First some pinchos, then an arepa, some vanilla soft serve, a gyro, 2 slices of pizza, a bag of cotton candy, 3 ears of roasted corn, lemonade, a couple of sodas and a bucket of donuts. Mission Accomplished! Needless to say we are all calling the Pepto hot line later, but good times were had! read more

SKIP. hell no we are not paying $40 dollars for ticket. I prefer Disney or something else that kids would enjoy. I hav me been going to Santas Enchanted Forest Since 1996. Tickets all inclusive were like $25 or $29 dollars. Kids use to be $15-20. Who the hell decided to make the prices $35 dollars. Parking has always been Free and all rides included. Only The FAIR are the ones with rides per ticket. NOTHING HAS CHANGED. NO RIDES ADDED for the price hike. Im sorry. Not going to this one and never will for $40 dollars a carnival style park... read more

Santa's Enchanted Forest is practically synonymous with Miami and after living in Miami for the majority of my life, I had never visited -huge shock, I know! So of course, I had to cross it off my bucket list. Over the years, I heard plenty of stories, both good and bad, so my expectations weren't too high.The experience overall was fun but I learned plenty of future lessons...so here they are. 1. Come during the earlier dates. Santa's opens for business beginning in Early November and is usually less busy then. Against my better judgement, I came the week before Christmas on a WEEKEND, at 7:30 p.m. WORST TIME! Which leads me to my second tip. 2. Choose the right time. As one of Miami's main attractions during the holiday season, it's rightfully always filled with long lines. However to avoid those lines as best as possible, coming on a weekday would be best. If you can only visit during the weekend, come right at opening time - 5 p.m. 3. Come with patience. Remember when I mentioned I visited at 7:30 p.m. Well, it was more like I was in the general area at 7:30. With all the traffic, I actually entered the park around 9 p.m. The lines were definitely long. On average I waited about an hour for each ride. For reference, we visited 4 rides after leaving at 12:30. 4. Bring plenty of cash. Single day passes for two people costs about $72 with tax. Which is already pretty expensive. If you add the express passes (which I don't recommend) for each person, that'll be around $115 total. Keep in mind, admission only covers the rides and parking. Food and carnival games are extra. 5. Expect a younger crowd. Although fun, most of those who visit are families or teens. The lines get long so you end up surrounded by obnoxious talking and lots of petty arguments over skipping. Be prepared. 6. Turn right first! So over the years, Santa's had to expand it's fair grounds due to the amount of people visiting. Instead of following the narrow path down to the Ferris Wheel, make that right turn after passing the center Christmas Tree and you'll find the newer rides and the shorter lines. Overall if you haven't visited, I do recommend coming at least once. But I find it to be a little over-hyped, so have low expectations and good sense of humor. read more

I thought this was going to be a display of lights that I would be able to walk through and marvel at, similar to Moody Gardens or Santa's Wonderland; instead I was faced with an overpriced, cheesy, dirty carnival. I will say there were lights on every tree surrounding the carnival. but it was definitely not an "enchanted forest." first of all it was $30 to get in, which didn't include food or carnival games. it was so congested that we could barely get anywhere, which was miserable. and the lines for the few rides they had were so long that it ruined any chance of fun. basically, I paid a lot of money to walk around wondering why I had bothered to come read more

I have been going to Santa's exchanged forest for over 30 yrs now. I left south Florida over 5 yrs ago and moved to Texas. I visited south Florida around the Christmas holiday time in 2014 & now in 2017. My family and I always go if we are there around the holiday time.. Well I was so shocked about the prices.!! It is now 35$ for an adult ( an a adult is anyone 9 years old and over... really .. wow.) and 25-28$ for a child ( didn't. Remember the exact price) I was shocked because the prices were to much.. they price is becoming like Disney world or magic kingdom.. The rides or the park is not worth that price.. one roast corn is now 5$. They had a big lemonade mug that's was 20$ and to refill it was 10$.. it's getting ridiculously over priced . Make sure you have that money ready to blow. read more

Thought after 10-15 years it would be better still the same ole but way more money not worth it needs more kid rides.

So I have been begging my mother to take me here since we moved down to Florida. And her response......"Hell no! Why would you want to go there?! How old do you think you are?!" etc etc. Well she finally gave in since she was so tired of my complaining :) We went last night. We figured, it is a week before Christmas and a Sunday. Seemed like the perfect opportunity and it was! We arrived promptly at 5. It wasnt dark yet so we didnt get to see all the lights but we knew we would soon enough! Walking in, you really are in a Chrismas Wonderland! There are little set ups of Chrismas scenes like the Grinch, Scrooge, elves, the reindeer etc. I have to say, they had some live goat looking things that were supposed to be the reindeer.....come on. I think they could have done better than that! lol So we keep walking in and their is your typical face painting, temporary tattoos, tons of unhealthy but oh so yummy foods.... We decide to do all the rides before we ate anything. SMART IDEA! We went on almost everything except for a few I couldnt handle! Mom went by her lonesome! haha The rides are a bit old, but they wouldnt use them if they werent safe....The attendants checked everything 100% before each started. We didnt have to wait in any lines since we went so early which was perfect....I hate waiting on anything. A few things you had to pay extra for like the bull riding, the balloon water ride, the bunjee jump thing....none of those actually interested me so whatev. All the games were obviously extra money but we didnt do any of those either. The food was reasonably priced and soooo good! This is going to sound gross but we ate a funnel cake, a turkey leg, a BBQ sandwich, a tamale, an arepa, a candy apple.....and I think that is it haha! Come on, it was Santa's Enchanted Forest. We had to indulge. I got an old time picture taken...SO MUCH FUN! and reasonably priced! There was also this stand for crystallized roses which were goregous!!! I wish I could have gotten one! but they took 2 hours to make and we saw them on our way out! As we finished up all the lights had come on and it was truly a wonderland. The lights were unreal! all the setups were lit up and soooo pretty! I took a ton of pictures. The park was pretty big and had plenty to do. For the $24 admission....it was pretty worth it. I didnt go into expecting too much so I was pleasently surprised! We found a $2 off coupon online and they had $5 off coupons at McDonalds.... I will be back next year! It really put me in the Christmas spirit in this 65 degree sunny weather without snow! read more

I truly dislike this place! I had vowed to never return and low and behold my hubby and I thought it would be a good idea to try one more time for a child before the factory closes almost 10 years later and the last of the Mohicans wanted to go . So we promised the little one that we would take her. It's like how I remembered 10 years ago, yucky! The food was disgusting as always, the little one was creeped out by almost everything lol. The only good thing they had that wasn't there 10 years ago is that daiquiri place. Other than that you can ride in a nearby neighborhood to see lights and wait for the fair for rides and food. To pay so much and for it to not have many things is sad. I'm glad there was a hook up because there's no way I'll pay that much for this place. read more

Just took my 11 month old girl here last week. She LOVED IT! The lights, the people, the merry-go-round, the funny foods that Mommy let her try, all of it. Remember, this is the Dade County Youth Fair with Christmas lights, not a real amusement park. I don't think they try to sell themselves as anything but. And it is great for what it is. read more

I am a Christmas fanatic. A real holiday devotee ... Elf is my favorite movie of all time, if that tells you anything. So, of course, I thought I would LOVE Santa's Enchanted Forest. I saw the lights from the highway, and was bouncing in my seat like a 5 year old every time we passed. The reality wasn't quite so magical. $23 to get in ... ok, I guess that's not so expensive ... except almost everything inside costs extra. You enter to a plethora of Christmas lights (which I LOVED), and random Christmas displays, some of which are rather odd. Assortments of different toys, mechanical Santas and other stuff made up the different windows. Everything from Santa and aliens to a creepy wizard Santa holding a masquerade mask. Weird. Every 10 feet someone is selling something, whether it's light up wands and Santa hats or pics with Santa and grilled corn. Keep moving, the Christmas theme stops altogether, and it becomes your average carnival. Eh, ok I guess, but I'm not really into the roll-away rides ... can they really be safe? Doubtful. Then, all the cool stuff you had to pay extra for. World's smallest horse? $1 apiece, and not so small. $2 apiece for other oddities. The fair food I really enjoyed ... funnel cake and a candy apple - made my night. Watched a steel cage thrill show, kinda cool, even though most of it was in Spanish. We wandered around, but didn't fall prey to the ripoff carnival games ... one of the guys even said to my BF "Well, you won a prize for that girl last night, what about this girl?" What nerve. That dude must be getting some guys into serious hot water...not the smartest way to sell lameo games. Anyway, I was a little disappointed. I expected more Christmas, less money-hungry carnival. Surprised this place makes the top ten Christmas attractions in the US. Really? But, at least there were pretty lights, and delicious fair food. We had fun. :) read more

Not worth the money. Don't even bother to pay the fast pass. We were at the yellow sub and the gate keeper let everyone in on the regular row, didn't let us (with the fast pass) in, even though there were 2 rows empty (each row fits 5 kids). My group was of 6 kids. Just do the math. Here is a pic of the guy. And as a bonus here is the pic of the whatever they use to cook the gyros read more

The rides are very entertaining and exciting the food there is amazing it's kinda expensive but is really worth it if you want to have fun with the kids there's a lot of kid rides and adult rides I didn't get to ride on all of them but most of them were fun want to come back and ride all the ones I didn't but it was a fun experience read more

It might not be the winter wonderland from my childhood but it is still fun. It is a Christmas themed carnival, they don't try to hide that. The rides are what you will find at the youth fair. Will they get your adrenaline pumping? No. But, they will give you a nice little thrill in your stomach. The food is the normal carnival fare, lots of fried stuff, some gyro and a few other things. The main reason I had fun this time was my niece. Seeing the excitement in Joey reminded me what it was like when I was little here. If you have some kid that you care about with you, you will have fun too, really it is the only way an adult will truly enjoy themselves here. read more

Great corn on the cob & meat leg. Rides are good too. Decorations kinda suck though, they have been using the same decor for over 10 years and it shows. read more

I really enjoyed this place. Being from the north east, Christmas means lights, houses that do light shows yearly and most importantly... Snow. This year was tough to not being able to see that. It was roughly $30/person to get in and be able to ride pretty much everything, things like rock climbing *i think* is more money, but you pretty much know these thing when your a carnival vet, includes you to see shows and go through mazes *love house of mirrors*.Since we won't be going to a winter wonderland back up north, we decided to go all out and get express pass so we don't have to wait in line too long and boy it was worth it! I laughed a lot, had a romantic moment with my love on the Ferris wheel. Now, to call this an amusement park is too much, it's a carnival. Questionable safety of rides you think, but your sure you won't die when you see how fun it all looks. I felt safe seeing all the employees checking before the ride started. Florida people are spoiled by year round theme parks and complain about this? Yea, go to Boston in early February with your North Face coat to a carnival where it cost you way more when you have to pay for EVERY ride and you get way less options...you will come back running here. I can't control who enters so I can't make it the fault of the carnival about the kids running around carelessly about who is around them, but they are kids. It would be weird to see super behaved kids. Lets be reasonable people when rating this place. Thought it was funny seeing 14 year olds acting like they are married. Yes I'm judging their parents. :P The soft serve ice cream, chocolate, brought back memories of summer time in Salem, MA The huge tree filled my heart with joy because it reminded me of when we went to this one house every year to see the light show. I was really surprised how big this carnival was. Food was good but gave me a tummy ache, but fried food always does that to me. If you have truly been to a carnival, you would know that everyone at the darts game and other games tries to get us to play, simply ignore or say no thank you, then done, left alone. Get that stick outta your ass sweetie. In all its awesome for a date, family, and friends. I recommend it, if you spent the money, make the most of it. No one likes a negative Nancy. -1 star only because.... I just don't want to over sell it. read more

Every year we always look forward to go to this place and it's definitely our Christmas mood starter, we decided to take my 2.5 Yr old daughter this year,(last year it was too cold and she was too little) and sure enough she had a blast, the only little problem was that we went on a Saturday evening and the place was packed! I recommend if possible to go on weekdays so you can enjoy more comfortably. The parking lot was very full and far away from the entrance but thankfully they have free train rides, you have to pay attention where do you park your car, since the parking lot is not marked. If you can buy your tickets in advanced online or at Walgreens or CVS you will save yourself from making a Big line even though the lines roll thru fairly fast. We all know the place is a bit pricy $29 plus tax, and we didn't pay for my baby since she still 2.5 (she rode in a stroller, she walked a lot but eventually got tired). Some of the decorations would definitely take an upgrade but overall the place is magical with all the lights, games, rides and FOOD ! I had to have a completa (congri (rice and beans), maduros and masitas de puerco (pork chuncks) We were starving!!! the food was good, we also had Arepas (venezolanas) with cheese, they were OK...nothing to go crazy about. We walked all the way to the end...played some games (I won a Big Stuff Banana, shooting hoops) still got it! and took lot of good pics. The place was very clean and will definitely go back next year. read more

Kitchy carnival style theme park. I'm not a Miami native, but you can tell this place would be amazing to children and probably very nostalgic for adults who grew up coming here. You pay a flat fee to enter and then can ride all the rides you're willing to wait in line for. Its standard carnival style rides, a little rough on the neck and back, but you know that before getting on. They also have super cheesy side show attractions like a "real" mermaid - who happened to be on her cell phone when we walked in, that was hilarious. World's smallest horse. World's smallest woman, etc. etc. Its tacky, its cheap, its fun... Just go to experience it, no one living in Miami should miss it. read more

Really good time for the whole family! Rides are all included once you pay the (high) admission price, but we offset that by going all out- buy the season pass, and go 10 times- it cost us $185 for all 4 of us, we went for $18.50 each visit! Its a pain because of typical West Dade population being there, kids butt in line, and that sort of thing, but nothing too violent. We went for the last time last night, so thought I'd write it up, was worth the money, but one visit would have cost us $105, and thats a rip off. One word of advice- EAT BEFORE YOU GO! :) read more

My friends and I had a great time and we're all over 25. The rides were so much fun and the lines actually weren't bad. We went on 7 rides in 3 1/2 hours and were able to enjoy the petting zoo as well. There were various food trucks and stands including pizza, Greek food, fried carnival food, and places just for desserts. The event space was clean, safe, pretty, and we had a great time. read more

I've lived in Miami for many, many years and I had never been to Santa's Enchanted Forest until this Christmas. There were 5 adults and 6 kids. We went during the week so it wasn't too crowded. There were some lines for the rides but the wait was bearable. We ate the usual fair food such as cotton candy, elephant ears, fries, steak sandwich, steak pinchos, arepa & hot dogs. Once in while, it's nice to indulge in junk. I wasn't disappointed. Admission includes unlimited rides for most things. Bunjee jumping is $5. We had a great time! I'm definitely going back next Christmas! read more

I like this place. Family friendly and affordable. We got the season pass and it is worth it.

We went on a Sunday night and it was empty. This is the perfect time to go. We were able to zip around the whole place and go on every ride with no wait. I grew up driving by here and begging my parents to take me. I finally went as an adult with my own kids and it was fun.

STAY AWAY FROM THESE SCAM ARTISTS!!! We won not one, but two games in a row and the employees told us they needed to change the rules and we couldn't take home our prizes!!
