First time visiting with my children and won't be the last! We heard mixed reviews about Santa's village but ultimately decided to give it a try since we were in the area for a trip. We are so glad we went as we feel in love with this place! It was clean, well taken care of, all the bathrooms were well maintained as well as the park as a whole. The staff were so incredibly friendly and you can tell they love their job. They were so helpful and attentive and stayed in character! There is a good mix of rides for younger kiddos along with rides for the older kids too. This is su ch a wonderful place to visit with kids and make memories! read more

My family and I loved this amusement park! This will be our yearly spot in November or December. It was snowing and super cold but we were prepared for all the fun Santa's Village had for us. All rides were kid friendly and our 4 year old rode them all. We stayed from opening till closing and enjoyed all the hours. We really loved how they give you a passport card for the elves and you have to find each elf to get your card stamped. There was sooo many fun activities and we will definitely be back this year. read more

This was my first time visiting the park and unfortunately, I had an issue with another patron that has tainted my experience. After getting off our first attraction we went to buy a picture of our family. The person in front of us in line, waited for us to buy our picture and told us he "photo bombed" our family picture and bought a copy. He (Richard) gave us a copy of his business card and asked if we wanted to follow him on you tube and see more of his work. I cannot tell you how disturbing it is to have a 60 something year old man ruining photos at an amusement park for small children. The workers on the ride joked and said "I guess we shouldn't have told him where the cameras were" Why are the workers telling this creep where to photo bomb pictures? I did email the park and they said they were made aware of the incident that day and spoke with him about it. Evidently, he is a season pass holder, so be on the lookout for a creepy, heavy-set, grey-haired man named Richard when you go here. Otherwise, the park was beautiful in the trees, very clean and the new water park was amazing. Two large pools where you could spend all day. The lines were manageable and not over the top. The big difference from story land was the Elf University Stamp collector page. My kids loved that! Not sure if I would go back. read more

We love everything about this park! The park is immaculate and very well taken care of. You can tell the staff take pride in keeping the place shining and enjoyable. You never see any trash on the ground and nothing looks worn or old. All of the "characters" and Santa are just the best. They greet with genuine smiles and always have fun and nice things to say. The workshop characters are a riot and my kids always get a good chuckle from Ed and Ted! Make sure to see Santa early or you will wait in a good long line. They let you take your own pictures - and multiples. You do not have to buy their pictures but they are often better than yours! Almost all of their rides are good for any kid age 3+ and are just good family fun. The only boring ride we found was the bumper cars because the attendant runs it like the military and didn't really let anyone have fun - any time someone spun around he stopped everyone and fixed that person. The waterpark - I honestly cannot say enough about it! I don't usually like public pools or water play areas because they are usually run down, old and dirty but not this place. It looks like brand new and the water is sparkling clean. There is an area with a "climber" type thing with slides that come off of it and then a shallow splash and play area that turns into a 2ft deep pool that the smaller slides go into. My kids would play here all day! The pizza restaurant has very good pizza and is worth the wait - skip the gross chicken fingers and burgers and go straight for the pizza! read more

I enjoyed spending the day at Santa's Village with my son and his family. The kids are 7 3/4, 5 1/2 and 2 1/2. There were rides and activities for all of them and their parents seemed to have fun, as well. The park is very clean with many trash cans located throughout the park. There are lots of restrooms-very clean. I'm not going to list all the attractions, but the children were pretty busy all day long. There is a cute scavenger hunt to do. And, of course, Santa is there! There is food, drinks and snacks available for purchase, but we brought out lunch and ate at one of the many picnic tables. There is plenty of parking. I'm pretty sure tickets can only be purchased on line and are limited. We went on a day that started out rainy, so the park was kind of empty. There is water park that I did not see. I would highly recommend going to Santa's Village with your kiddos for a very fun day. read more

Such a great Christmas theme park I love everything about this park and there food is amazing and rollercoasters are made just for the family read more

Extremely clean and well maintained amusement park. On a sunny Sunday, some ride lines were too long, but the effort put in and all around experience is best in class. Better than experiences at much larger and more expensive parks. read more

This is the way all amusement parks should be! Family-centered, friendly, laid-back, and too notch service experience. Meticulously clean and beautifully landscaped. Food pricing actually reasonable! Plenty of free parking. Highly recommend! read more

They are doing a really great job here. My 9-year old grandniece LOVED it. The place is clean, there is an excellent variety of attractions, the staff is superb (really seem to care about the kids having a good time), the pizza at the Pizza Emporium was quite good, and the price was reasonable. We will be going back! read more

Had the best trip there with the family on Friday, August 22nd. Park was immaculate, staff went above and beyond to help. Prices were reasonable and fair for park entry and food. The all day souvenir cup was easy to refill and a great value. Want to give shout-outs to the enthusiastic kid running the Midnight Flyer, he had as much energy at 4:45pm as he did at 9:45am and to Caleb and Jeff from Maintenance who helped us out later in the day when we had car trouble after the park closed. If you want an amazing day where staff go out of their way to provide a great experience, visit Santa's Village. read more

Santa's Village is the first theme park we took our two year old toddlers to. We are so happy we did! We went on a Monday in July and arrived about noon after driving up from MA. We started at the waterpark. The family changing rooms were large and convenient. They need a little more ventilation in there because we were quickly sweating just trying to get in and out of our bathing suits. The different areas of the water park were great. Our toddlers were hesitant but other kids and families looked like they were having a blast and it was great that there were different spaces for differed ages of kids. We ate at Burger Meister Food Court and were very satisfied with our wraps and the kids Mac and cheese plate. We went on several of the toddler friendly rides. Every staff person we interacted with was friendly and kind. The park was immaculately clean. We will definitely be back in the future when our kids are able to do more on their own. read more

This place....!!! I cant possibly rave about this place enough for families with elementary aged children! We had a blast and my family was treated with such dignity and respect. My son has autism and we forgot to ask about accommodations, but we didn't need any bc of the culture and kindness of this place! There were no wait times for any rides this past Monday, July 31. I hope the administration and every employee knows how amazing they are! You all truly made an impact on my little families life and we will always cherish our memories at Santa's Village. Thank you for your hospitality. I want to be more like you. read more

Anything you'd expect in a theme park, food, rides (obviously) and more. It has a few roller coasters but it's not like 6 flags or cedar point. read more

This is our 3rd consecutive year at this park with our two kids. It was a fun time for them to run around and enjoy all the rides. Collecting all the Elf stamps, and then receiving a diploma at the end was a great experience for them. The staff were very nice people who made sure all visitors were treated special. Overall great park, and we look forward to returning next year read more

After hearing about Santa's Village earlier this year, I knew it would be the perfect place to kick off the Christmas season with my 4 and 2 year old. We booked a trip here for early November and stayed at the Mountain View Grand. When we arrived at the park, we had to park in a dirt lot across the street, I thought for sure the park would be packed inside. But once we got in (we pre purchased tickets online ahead of time), the park was roomy and we never felt like it was overcrowded or that lines were excessive. We loved every aspect of the park. The rides were amazing and perfect for my toddlers. Everything was super clean and all the staff was friendly. We're looking forward to going back again soon! read more

Santa's Village in Jefferson, NH was such a treat. My son was only 18 months at the time, but it is a great place to take the family. Christmas is my favorite holiday so I just loved this place. We went in the Winter and it was freezing! That just made the experience even more enjoyable. Lots of games and exhibits, food and toys. We had a blast. read more

Went for Holly Jolly Halloween & had a wonderful time with two boys (4 & 2), mom dad and grandma. It is so clean, parking is easy, food is good (and crazy fast), the staff is fantastic and it's so cool that there were so many ride options for little kids. They've truly done an incredible job with Santa's Village - it's so perfect, and then tucked in between the beautiful rolling hills and pretty New Hampshire landscape, it feels so special! I remember coming here as a kid and it's one of the few places that lives up to the childhood memory. We cannot wait to go back! Definitely checkout the Talking Rudolph by the entrance for kids! Just one of the many special touches of Santa's Village. read more

Not really sure what to expect from a Christmas themed amusement park in August but we loved it!! Plenty of rides and great food. Ended our day at the on-site water park and had happy kids and adults! read more

I just feel like every time I go I need to post a review. It's literally one of my favorite places in the whole entire world. It's top five of amusement parks ever and I've been to quite a few. Something about being in the mountains and just enjoying the ambience is amazing. First we went in June. We got there a little bit late. I couldn't get my internet to work. They were able to find my tickets very quickly. We got right in and we rode multiple rides with no lines which is amazing. However, the best part about going in June is the free food. Basically you do pay for it in the ticket price but it is worth every single penny because you can just get whatever you want. You want five chicken fingers? Go ahead and you want icees and mini donuts that are absolutely delicious! Yes, all of those are yours for free, well included in the admission but basically pays for itself in one meal. Now the only thing I didn't really like about it is that I feel like when I was asking people for like multiple like two bags of donuts. The lady didn't act like she wanted to give it to me. I don't know if she just wasn't very happy about it or what was going on. But that was the only negative and I didn't let that ruin my day. Everyone that you meet while you go on a ride is super nice. The rides are all up to date yeah or they're a little little but honestly it's perfect. It's literally my favorite place ever. You get a ring included in the ticket price. Everything about it is magical. Please take me back The park. Obviously the water is pretty cold. You're in the mountains and makes perfect sense. My boy didn't seem to mind it. My other one didn't love it but that's okay. I also really love that the souvenirs are really affordable read more

Super clean and cute! The kids had a blast collecting alphabet stamps and going on all the rides. I was so impressed by how clean and well maintained the park is. You can tell that the family that owns it takes a lot of pride in it. I used to go there as a kid and was so excited to see that they had expanded and added the new water park. That was a huge bonus that the kids really loved. If you are trying to decide between Santa's Village and Storyland choose Santa's Village. read more

This place was very cool! I really appreciated they let toddlers ride with 16+ on most rides. It's not like this in other parks. I was so surprised our little guy rode some very brave rides and he did great! The whole family had a lot of fun. Don't forget to get your elf ticket you get to stamp around the park. Nobody told us this and we missed out. We ordered lunch for the 5 of us and it was $52! I couldn't believe it was so cheap. The only down side was the water wasn't headed. It really was like the North Pole water! Burrrrr. Needless to say we didn't last long in the water section. We went back and did some dry rides. I was surprised they closed at 5. I thought so early but we all were tired and ready for dinner by then. read more

We had a great day at Santa's Village! My granddaughter wore a princess gown with a sparkly pink crown and got a lot of positive attention!. It didn't hold her back from enjoying the rides, and there were plenty to choose from. Next summer we will.plan ahead to bring the kids bathing suits. The water park looked like a lot of fun read more

[987] 7/2019 What a cool place in the middle of NH. We were in the area so family took us here. I have to say I was bit skeptical since Santa's Village in July sounded strange but I'm glad we went. My son had a blast!! Free parking It's basically a kid driven park with a Christmas theme. I love Christmas music so it was nice hearing it in the park. My son did the rides. We ate the food. The freshly made donuts were warm and tasty. My son made wax candles which was unique, fun and reasonably priced. We really enjoyed our stay and would definitely be back. read more

Santa's village is a family fun destination. We brought my 3 year old over the long Labor Day weekend. We all really enjoyed ourselves. The rides and water park were so much fun! There is so much to do. We ate at the pizza restaurant and got hot, fresh, delicious pizza. Much better than I was anticipating for a theme park. We will definitely be back to create more memories in the years to come. read more

Our Jolly June day today 6/11/23 was a most special day ever!!!!! The personal were the kindest most patient. people ever. The food was fantastic, the rides were great. The attendant's at the water park were fantastic, I could have never asked for a better day. Park is always clean, bathrooms , food services is always Clean. Employees are always willing to help in any and every way possible. This is why I buy seasons tickets every year. I can not say enough Great things about Santas Village!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will be purchasing again next season. Thank you Santas Village for making my great grand babies so very happy along with their Momma and Grammy- Three Generations. read more

This place is extremely clean & I cannot believe I haven't heard more because I was EXTREMELY IMPRESSED with the rides, AND the water park. Not only was the park immaculate and well kept but they had a lot of stuff to do! Unfortunately we got here a little too late in the day to really enjoy the entire park, but we did do the water park for a few hours and then we rode several rides such as the rollercoaster, the flume, and the bumper cars. All the rides were GREAT & the lines weren't bad at all! We had our picture taken with Santa as well! The staff were all friendly and accommodating!! The gift shops had a TON of amazing stuff at really great price points! I'm sad we didn't get to explore the whole park. But my son is 4 and I felt like it was a PERFECT age however we will DEFINITELY be back! We wanted to do the tube ride & a few others for sure! 5 STARS!!! read more

I do recommend anyone w small children to visit Santa's village. It is magical to have Christmas year round. The music throughout the park helps set the mood. We've been coming yearly since my kids were old enough to get on rides. Now 10-12 it feels like they are a bit old for most rides. This year the Rudolph coaster is coming down which is kind of sad being a thrill ride the kids enjoy. I guess it's dated and needs to come down. I think we are done w Santa's village unless the water park continues to expand or more thrill rides are added for the older kids. It's a great feature to cool off on a hot summer visit. They've added cabanas in the wading pool area that block from the water slide areas which is concerning if you want to keep an eye on your children from that area. The old fashioned cars are a family favorite. Wish it were a longer ride. Usually it doesn't feel so packed but this last visit 8/2023 it seemed every ride had long lines. Never experienced that before. Get there early to enjoy the rides and bring a poncho just in case. We got stuck in some rainfall and they actually had them in the park for $1. There are different food options in the park so ask if you have special request. There's a place that has pizza, another offers burgers, fries, chicken nuggets, pb&j, grilled cheese etc. read more

This place did it right. Everything you don't like about amusement parks is an area they excel. Their staff is amazing and love kids, the park is clean, the food is reasonably priced, they limit their tickets daily so it isn't over packed. Everything Christmas themed is perfect. Probably the best thing of all is seeing that all other parents are fighting the same battle you are! This place is special! read more

Santa's Village is such a fun place for children and adults. It is good in the summer and winter. In the winter they have fun lights and in the summer the huge fun water park is open. Santa's village is fun for everybody from babies to teens to adults. read more

Santa's Village - The train stop - Amusement Parks Near Me - Jefferson, New Hampshire

We are visiting from California and are used to going to Disneyland and Knotts Berry Farm, so we know theme parks. This place is well kept, fun and beautiful. Being from Southern California it's a little too cold for our taste lol but that's out of the parks control. Everyone seems very friendly and happy. We will definitely come here again next time we visit. We would never guess that this park is 70 years old with how well kept it is. read more

This was my first time at Santa's village.....I love it...I think it's good for kids from ages 3-8........The staff happy and friendly......Adults too of course but definitely for kids...... It's about $33.00 entrance and u can get on all the rides....kids can go to the university and and get their name on a tag with a Christmas tree.... the have to go throughout the village find elf's and hole punch all the letters of the alphabet and at the end they get a diploma and a pen...... I think that's was a great activity to keep the kids entertained and try everything on the village...... The food wasn't bad pretty decent for fast food. The had cheeseburgers, hotdogs, fries, chicken nuggets and a variety of drinks......The staff worked quickly to get every customer in and out when it was raining......they sell mini donuts sooo good and fresh cotton candy yummy... I got to see the real reindeers they were so cute........They open at 9:30am and close at 6pm...... read more

We are a "theme park family" and there is something about Santa's Village that makes us want to keep returning whenever we can. We were a group of three generations and all of us had a great time. There were minimal crowds and minimal waits for rides as the weather wasn't great and we visited midweek at the end of summer vacation. The employees are very friendly and appear to enjoy their jobs. The Elfabet game is genius. Rides appear to be well maintained and freshly painted. The grounds are well kept and it's located amongst beautiful pine trees in the NH mountains. It does close a bit early so just keep that in mind as time goes by fast when you are having fun. read more

This is now my favorite Christmas place ever!!! We flew to the East Coast from the West Coast and did a road trip of 13 states. This was mine and my kids all time favorite spot. I wish I knew of this place long ago. It was supposed to be about a 5-6hr drive from our previous stop and ended up being 9 and was worth it imo. My husband even loved it and he wasn't too fond of making the drive just for a Christmas place before we made it there. We also went to Story land and it was fine but nowhere near as good as Santas. I loved all the details of everything. All of our names were on the nice list and mine is never on anything. We didn't get to go to the waterpark because for July it wasn't hot enough for us. I didn't know the weather there, but figured it would be similar to the other states. We really hope to make a trip back and spend more than a day there (and hopefully when it's warm enough for the water area). The prices were everything were great as well...Especially compared to storyland. I've been telling everyone I know about this place because we enjoyed it so much. All the workers were so friendly too. Hope to make it back in the near future. read more

My family used to take us as kids when we were little and now I get to bring my own children. So much fun and small enough that it doesn't feel overwhelming but still plenty to do. My son is under 36" so he was somewhat limited but we still spent at least 4 hours there. read more
