“Santa’s Village” when summer is over! by Fallon Bradle

Our family (including Anna, age 8, and Jack, almost 4) went to the Fall Fest at Santa’s Village this past weekend and had an absolute blast! This was our first time visiting, so we weren’t sure what to expect, but we were so impressed by how much there was to do.

The rides were fantastic. Anna especially loved the big roller coaster, and Jack couldn’t get enough of the caterpillar mini-coaster ride. We all had fun together on the pig and cow roller coasters, which were perfect for younger kids but still exciting enough for the whole family.

We grabbed lunch at the park and were pleasantly surprised by how good it was. The kids devoured their corn dogs, chicken tenders, and fries, always a good sign!

For Halloween, the park adds a festive touch with a fun haunted house that both kids enjoyed so much we went through multiple times. There were also great little seasonal activities throughout the park that made the whole experience feel extra special, including animatronics that the kids found very entertaining in between rides.

The Petting Zoo was another big hit, you can purchase food to feed the goats, sheep and pigs. The kids loved it so much we went back twice.

Overall, Santa’s Village delivered a perfect mix of family-friendly fun, good food, and festive fall atmosphere. We can’t wait to come back!

The “Pumpkin Patch & Fall Festival ” will continue on October 18th and 19th and then close out the season on the 25th and 26th.
