Christmas Magic Throughout the Year at Santa’s Village in Jefferson, NH
Looking for a fun theme park adventure for your littles? Whether it is July or December, you can experience Christmas magic at Santa’s Village in Jefferson, NH. Santa’s Village is a super family friendly adventure up in northern New Hampshire with lots of fun rides and Christmas related activities. We have been in the middle of the summer, as well as in late November, and always have an amazing time!
On your way up to the park, you will get some AMAZING views of the White Mountains.
You will also get some amazing vista’s from the top of the ferris wheel!
If you are brave and willing to shift in your seat to look around, you can see Mount Washington from the ferris wheel, as well. I am not one of those people and will only ride a ferris wheel with L; she has learned not to squirm or move too much since I may or may not kind of freak out when the seat rocks…
The kiddos also love the Elf Flying School ride,
and the Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree swings.
We also enjoyed seeing all of the Christmas lights as we rode around the park on the little train.
It’s not quite the same viewing experience in the summer because it gets dark so late; however, the train ride is definitely fun regardless of whether you can see the lights!
There are also a few little roller coasters, a carousel, and a monorail! In the summer, there is a water park where you can cool off for a bit, as well as a log flume. You can check out all of the rides here.
There are other non-ride activities, as well. My kiddos love seeing Santa’s reindeer,
and I think they are kind of cute, as well!
And, of course, you can visit with Santa!
The park has enough rides and activities that you can certainly spend an entire day there, but it’s small enough that little legs can handle it.
There are also nursing spaces and I cannot tell you how amazing these are. We went in the summer when Little Man was just 4 months old and having an air conditioned space in which to nurse him was spectacular. We got a little break from the crowds, a chance to cool off a bit, and he could eat without distractions. It made our day just that much easier!
The kid-sized rides (that are still fun for Mom and Dad), the manageable size of the park, and the Christmas magic make Santa’s Village a great family adventure any time of the year.
I hope your family enjoys this adventure as much as mine did!

This is a annual tradition at Christmas for us. We didn’t go this year for the first time because we went to Disney for Christmas. We missed it.
Melissa
This was our first Christmas time visit and I’m sure it will be a tradition for us, as well! Sorry you missed it this year, but I imagine Disney was awesome!

The reindeer and Santa are a fun addition! The theme park near us isn’t open in the winter.
Melissa
They definitely help create a fun atmosphere! Many of the other amusement parks aren’t open, either; we are lucky to be near this one!

Who doesn’t want Christmas 365? Didn’t know this excised. Maybe it’ll motivate me to shop presents in July, lol!

Hahaha! Good point.. maybe I will try that this year!

I love that area of the country. We were there last summer and I wish I would have known about Santa’s Village! Will have to check it out next time. Thanks for sharing.

It gives you another reason to come back and visit!

I went here as a child and took my boys here as well. We always loved going there. Such a great place for kids and especially for those that love Christmas.
Melissa
I bet your boys will take their kiddos, as well! It’s such a great place that has been around for generations!
Leeanne
So funny but we’ve never made it to Santa’s Village. We’ve been to Story Land several times but not Santa’s Village. I think this will be the year we go. Thanks for reminding us about such a fun place to visit.
Melissa
It has a similar feel to Story Land – just Christmasy. I hope you make it there!
jen
This is great! I often threaten to have a whole year of Christmas. Putting this info in the files for when we do!
Melissa
Sounds like a perfect plan!!
