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

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
