Santa's Land
Anyone who has lived through a Vermont winter will
not be suprised to find that Santa calls the state home. Located
in Putney, Santa's Land offers an oasis for those who believe that
Christmas should be celebrated year-round. Most of the attraction
is geared towards kids aged 2-8, with train tours, a miniature amusement
park, petting zoo, slides and the chance to meet Santa, his elves
and all the other North Pole regulars. Kids of all ages can peek
into Santa's house, visit the Christmas Tree Shoppe or stuff themselves
with goodies from the Candy Shop and the Igloo Pancake House. A
picnic area is also provided for families who wish to make a special
day of it.
Santa's Land is open May 26-June 30 on weekends, 10-5;
July 1-August 31 daily, 10-5 (closed Wednesday); and September to
Christmas Eve on weekends and holidays only, 10-5. The cost of admission
is $15 for children 3-12, $12 for adults, $10 for seniors and free
for children under 3. Group rates are also available. Visitors to
the Santa's Land Website
will find much more information about this special place, as well
as a printable coloring book and coupons good for use in the Christmas
Tree Shoppe. Santa, or more likely one of his helpers, can be reached
at 1-800-SANTA99.
