Santa's Village
Christmas Themed Family Park For Young Children In Jefferson, Open Since About 1953 (Confirm), With Gentle Rides, Reindeer And Santa, Operating In Summer And On Selected Weekends Toward Christmas (Confirm). · Jefferson, New Hampshire
A Christmas-themed family park for young children on US Route 2 in Jefferson, in the northern White Mountains, open since about 1953 (confirm) and built on the idea that it is always Christmas here. The park is laid out among tall evergreens with the Presidential Range on the skyline, and its rides, buildings and shows all follow the holiday theme: sleighs, elves, gingerbread, a Christmas carousel and a small train. Santa is in residence to meet children in every season, and a herd of reindeer lives in the park where visitors can see and sometimes feed them (confirm). Rides are gentle and sized for children of roughly two to ten, with a family coaster, a log flume and a water play area for older children (confirm the line-up). The main season runs from late spring weekends through daily summer operation to autumn weekends, and the park has reopened on selected weekends toward Christmas with lights and holiday events (confirm dates each year). It sits about 40 miles north of Glen, so most families pair it with the northern Presidentials, the Cog Railway and Gorham.
