I've been to Santa Land in years past --- and it's okay --- agree with other posters that it's old, worn but nostalgic. Lots of junk rides and things to buy. What's most ironic to me though is that when looking for things to do in NC Mountains over Thanksgiving, I found Santa Land closes down each year on 11/3... more

We went here on a recent trip to Cherokee. Although Cherokee is changing since the arrival of Harrah's, Santa's Land is everything that it has always been. It is a good place to take your young toddlers, but any kids older than 8 or 9 may get bored with it very quickly. more

Just took my grandkids (ages 2 & 4) for their first trip. I went as a child and took my kids several times through the years. It was as much fun this time as it was all the other times I have been. There was never a wait for the rides which added to the enjoyment for all!. All the... more

My husband and I took my two children to Santa's Land (who were ages 4 and 6 at the time) and I felt like we had all stepped into a time machine and went directly into the past. It was a wild surreal experience. I can't explain it in words other than to say that everything felt Nostalgic and you... more

We visited Santa's Land in May and it was one of the highlights of our vacation. My children (7 & 4) absolutly loved it. It is not a big park, but they get too tired out at the larger parks. It was not crowded so there was little to no wait for the rides. They really enjoyed seeing and feeding... more

I went 2 Santa's Land as a child. So I was so happy when my children (ages 1,5,7,&9) wanted 2 go. I do remember it being a little dirty. But what place isn't that has animals. This is a place the children will remember 4 a lifetime. more

We just got back from our first trip and everything was excellent. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. If you have kids ages 2-10, this one is not to miss! Well worth the $20 a head, tax included. The last reviewer must be a drive-by, because this is without question one of the cleanest parks we've ever visited. more

i know a lot of people might say this is a nice park 4 their children but i think they might be blind. this park was the trashiest, filthiest, run down piece of junk we have ever been to and was deffinetly not worth the 80 dollars we payed to get in. everything there was older than dirt and very... more

I am not a big Santa person so I was afraid this park would not be too great. We needed something to do however, and there is no way my girls could miss seeing all of the billboards, so off we went! Initally, I though $17 a person was a bit high ( I know...sounds kind of cheap of me... more

My husband & I took our 3 small children (5, 6, & 7) to Santa's Land last summer. They loved it! It was not too big and not too crowded. Just perfect for my little ones. We did not have to wait in long lines. My small children could ride all of the rides. It was great! more
