The wait is almost over.  The most enchanted holiday spot in South Florida – Santa’s Enchanted Forest – is on its way back for its 38^th season beginning November 4. Get ready for 60 fun-filled nights of holiday cheer and non-stop entertainment. 

If you’re from South Florida, you grew up with Santa’s Enchanted Forest. And by now, you’ve probably heard that the most enchanted holiday spot is relocating to Hialeah Park, a 238-acre landmark property that’s home to the iconic Hialeah Park Casino.

Hialeah Park sits at the center of the city that’s currently undergoing an explosion of growth and development.  So it should come as no surprise that the World’s Largest Holiday Theme Park found its way to Hialeah.

And while the location may have changed, the enchantment that you’ve come to know and love will always remain. Santa’s has kept all your favorite attractions and looks forward to introducing you to lots more.  With so much to see and explore this season, especially after missing a year due to Covid-19, you won’t want to miss out on the magical holiday celebration Santa’s has got in store for you.  

Here’s a quick look at what awaits you…

So Many Lights

Just past the entrance, you’ll be captivated by millions of colorful, twinkling lights, unique holiday displays, and a 90-foot musical Christmas tree light show.

Rides. Rides and More Rides.

Kiddie, Family, and Thrill Rides.  You don’t have to be a kid to experience the excitement.  From the merry-go-round to the bumper cars, there are plenty of kid and family-friendly rides that will keep you going all night long.  But if you’re thirsting for that REALLY BIG thrill, look no further.  We have that too. Space Roller, Crazy Mouse, Magnum, Windstorm …. and many more.

Interactive Displays

Enjoy the splendor of holiday celebration as you stroll down Santa Clause Lane. You’ll encounter dozens of interactive and handcrafted displays before you reach the Carnival area. You’ll definitely want to spend some time surfing with Santa, singing Karaoke to the theme song from Frozen, or stopping for a kiss under the Mistletoe.

Live Show Entertainment

Circus Acrobats, Daredevil Motor-cross, Mesmerizing Magic, and AGT’s Fearless Globe of Death are some of the incredible shows you won’t want to miss during your visit this season.

Midway Games

Carnival games sometimes get a bad rap at other parks, but not at Santa’s.  Here, the odds are pretty good that you’ll go home with a prize. Play the water gun race, pop a balloon, or make a basket…. It’s all in the spirit of holiday joy and yeah, the thrill of victory too.

Carnival Food

From the moment you step into the park, your eyes, nose, and taste buds will be tempting you to try all the delicious food there. You’ll find the coveted elephant ears, funnel cakes, and candied apples of course, but you’ve also got mouthwatering bao buns, an assortment of authentic Latin cuisine, fajitas, turnkey legs, fried candy bars, mini donuts, and nitrogen ice cream just to name a few.  There’s no shortage of options.  Go hungry!

Even More Attractions

That’s not all. Get your face painted, dunk the bozo, or shoot paintball at scrooge! Climb to the top of the rock wall and ring the bell or bounce to your heart’s content at one of Santa’s bungee jump locations! Then stop for photos at some of the countless themed photo areas for that perfect holiday post!

Santa, Of Course.

Let’s not forget the Big Guy himself. A visit to Santa’s Enchanted Forest would not be complete without seeing Santa.  Stop for a meet and greet; then pose for a photo with Santa.  You can even write him a postcard with all your holiday wishes and drop it into his giant Mailbox conveniently located on your way to the carnival midway.

The Memories

“Never will you forget the experience of Santa’s Enchanted Forest.” That’s how the theme song goes.  And we’re not wrong. Everyone’s got a wonderful story about their time at Santa’s. If you haven’t been since you were a kid, it’s definitely time to come back.  It’s grown, but the forever constant is the happy feeling and lifelong memories you take with you when you leave.

One ticket, all rides free.

Just try to experience all of Santa’s in one night.  It simply can’t be done.  But you have 7 hours a day to try. The Park opens from 5 pm until midnight every night. A Single Day Adult admission ticket is $36.45 ($28.04 for kids and seniors) and includes ALL carnival rides, roller coasters, shows, lights, displays, PLUS parking.  It’s a GREAT value.
