santa land?! yea, sounds weird this old park in the nc mountains but it is worth a look. loved the rudi coaster!!! that roller coaster looks small but it is a great ride for its size. loved the playground, paddleboats, animals, santa, magic show and the whole wooded setting of the park. lots of shade and a flat surface for... more

We were visiting the Smokies from Las Vegas and my 6 year old son found a flyer about Santa Land. My husband and I weren't to excited about driving to N.C. to visit the attraction but my son really wanted to go. I must say it was the highlight of the trip. We had so much fun. Sure, it could... more

My family and I visited Santa's Land in Cherokee, NC this past weekend and it was a wonderful walk back in time.... 37 years later! I remember back in 1972 that everything seemed so much bigger (at age six, no wonder!) and more exciting but this was such a nice visit back in time. The staff was excellent with my... more

We spent about 6 hours at SANTAS LAND and our son rode the RUDICOASTER at least 10 times! once with SANTA himself!!! We really enjoyed the animals and the scenery. Bring lots of quarters for food for animals! All in all it was fun and I reccomend it for kids 2-12 and parents who are young at heart! more

Santa’s land needs some cleaning up and repairs but you could tell that this was once a sweet little amusement park. It looks very old and worn out now. Not much for older kids to do but the younger ones will enjoy carnival like rides and meeting Santa. There is also a petting zoo and lake where families can paddle... more

My 3 year old couldn't get enough!!! What a great place. They had a foot peddleboat area where u can feed fish, animals to pet (with hand sanitizer nearby), rides that she would just run from one to the next, a train to take u around the area, SANTA (who was absolutely the best one I can remember!!!), food. I... more

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
