Santa's Village in Jefferson, NH is wonderful! It is clean, extra cute, and lots of fun! it is about 1 hour from Storyland in Glen, NH. Definately worth the drive up, which is very scenic. Your children will have tons of fun on the rides, get cooled off at the water park, and enjoy the atmosphere. If the kids are 48 inches, they will be able to ride by themselves. Most of the rides are perfectly OK for a child to be on their own. My husband rode the ferris wheel, the bumper cars, the log flume ride, and the rollar coaster with the kids. Even the rollar coaster would be OK for the kids to ride without us, but just in case.........
When you first get in the park, the children can get a card from the 'ELF University' and stamp it all through the park. There are little elf statues with different letters of the alphabet on them, the kids get their stamps and at the end of the day, turn it in for a diploma and small trinket. The day we were there, our choice was a magnet or a license plate for their bike. Even though when we were there, it rained for a short time in the afternoon, the kids still wanted to play in the water park. There are lots of chairs and recliners for the adults to sit on, as well as large umbrellas to cover you up from rain or too much sun. They have changing rooms, bathrooms all over, and little snack and drink stations everywhere. As in any amusement park, the drinks and snacks are priced high, but you can certainly brink in your own stuff for the day. We had lots of snacks, but opted to buy drinks when we wanted them. You can buy a drink cup, and have it refilled through the day. Pay one price, then refill it whenever you want.
I highly suggest visiting Santa's Village if you are going to be in the area. It was well worth the money.
Santa's Village is great during the foliage but even better during the holidays. If you plan to stay over check out The Jefferson Inn. A family friendly Bed and Breakfast just one mile away. You can also buy your tickets there to avoid the lines at the entrance.
Sants Village is my favorite family theme park. It is Christmas all year,carols playing, decorations, Santa, Christmas snacks...everything. The kids love this day long diversion with kid rides that adults can go on too!!. Rudy's Rapid Transit is a roller coaster and the Yule log is a flume ride!!! There is also the Elfabet game where the kids search for different elves with witty names from the elfabet and win a prize. I have never been at Christmas but I am sure it is grand. We always go during the Cloumbus day hoiday and it sets the tone for the rest of our holiday season!!!! Its not that far from storyland so if you make the trip to Storyland I devinately suggest Santa Village!!!
