This amusement park for little kids -- in the White Mountains, near Jefferson -- is open for the summer season, with Christmas-themed rides like the "Reindeer Coaster" and the "Skyway Sleigh Ride": kids can see Santa and and his reindeer even in July.

Santa's Village re-opens after Thanksgiving for special weekends leading up to Christmas Eve. Kids can see Santa in his village, and most of the rides are open.

Santa greets each child, and listens to Christmas wishes. Fun includes: antique cars (-even kids can drive), bumper cars called "Santa's Smackers", Christmas carousel, ferris wheel, the "Skyway Sleigh" monorail ride, Santa's Express Train, and more.
