The B Rail (Thrill Ride)
For the first time in 24 years, the famous monorail track at Santa’s Village is alive again, this time as a solo thrill ride for adventurous guests 12-years-old and up. This first-of-its-kind self-powered mountain bike ride is suspended 40 feet above the park on the historic 62-year-old “Bumble Bee Monorail” line. The ride is designed to give park guests the feeling of flying through the trees.

Welcome to the Adopt-A-Reindeer Experience, a heartwarming new attraction where the magic of the North Pole comes alive. Elves will take you to meet Momma Jingles and Momma Jangles, two of Santa’s very own reindeer! Then, you’ll have the opportunity to meet the baby reindeer (plush) that will be going home with you.
*Additional fee applies for retail purchases

Wacko is the Winner of LA’s Best family entertainer and a member of the prestigious Magic Castle in Los Angeles.
 
Kids Imagine Nation
Kids Imagine Nation is a high-energy, interactive show that combines fun and laughter with all the Christmas songs that you love!

The merriest puppets on the mountain invite you to the NEW Magic Tree Theatre (previously the Magic Tree Bouldering Room) to see “An Elf’s Life For Me” puppet show! Join Floki the Yeti, Ingrid, Astrid, Dori, Nori, and Santa as they tell three light-hearted tales centered around the jolliest of seasons. This is a holiday puppet show for both the young and the young at heart.
 
Village of Lights Spectacular and Holiday Parade
Between the extravagant décor, the festive music, and the colorful lights, Santa’s Village at night is truly breathtaking! Join us at the Village Tree every evening for a lighting ceremony, then stand back and watch as the entire Village dances in a spectacular light display set to music.
 
Silver Bells Arena
During the winter months, our Silver Bells Arena transforms into a beautiful frozen pond. There’s a reason that so many Christmas carols talk about skating: it’s one of the best ways to make magical Yuletide memories! Skate rentals are included with park admission. Socks are required. Guests are also welcome to bring their own ice skates.
 
Fantasy Forest
Narrated by TreeWise, the oldest tree in our woods, this interactive nighttime walk through the NorthWoods is a unique and immersive experience.

How Do I Visit With Santa?
It’s a busy time of year for Santa. If you’d like to visit him at his house, check in to the park, go to Santa’s House, and ask one of the elves for a reservation. There are a limited number of reservations, but he’ll do his best to see as many people as he can each day.
 
What's Included With Admission?
Holiday offerings during Santa's Village are included with a Day Pass or Annual Pass, which also grants access to our everyday park activities, bike park trails (weather permitting), entertainment such as shows, character performances, parades and live music.
