This is a wonderful place to visit if you love Christmas, especially if you have young children. But even if you don't have kids and you love Christmas, this is the place for you.
There are animals, rides, shows, Christmas ornament and candy shops, wonderful decorations, Christmas music, Santa's workshop toys, and Santa himself! I cannot tell you how much fun we had here with our children. They loved it and so did I!
Pictured below are Andrew, Matthew, and Tiffany with Santa at the North Pole. They had a blast visiting Santa just a few days before Christmas that year.
Your children can sit down and have a talk with Santa. This Santa has a real beard and acts like he cares about your child. He is not a mall Santa, but a man who will talk to your child and actually listen to what the child wants for Christmas. It is a great experience. You can snap photos or you can have Santa's Elf take a photo for you that you will have to pay for. This is a great keepsake of a very special visit.
North Pole Colorado is on 26 acres of pure magic. Because it is on the base of Pikes Peak, it can be chilly. Sometimes, rain just comes up all of a sudden. It is a good idea to have a jacket in the car for everyone so if it does rain while you are there, you can run out and get it and continue your visit without being cold and wet. (Been there, done that the first time we visited!)
They have some places to eat burgers, fries, mostly fast food fare, but it is stuff kids enjoy. There is also an ice cream parlor.
The 60 foot Ferris wheel is a lot of fun and so are the other rides. Your kids can ride a replica of a space shuttle, swinging back and forth. Your whole family will have fun touring the park in the train. The animals will delight your children. How often have you seen a real reindeer up close and personal?

Pictured above, my son, Andrew, assisting the magician at the North Pole magic show. The kids loved it.
The magic shows are very good. There is also musical entertainment.
When we were there, we bought Christmas ornaments for our tree that we still put on the tree each year from Santa's workshop.
Admission is $16 a person for everyone, ages 2 through 59. Children under the age of two get in free. Seniors who are 60 or more get in for $5.95, a real bargain.
North Pole Colorado is open on Christmas Eve, weather permitting. It is closed from Christmas Day until the middle of May when it reopens.
