Description
In its second year running as one of the Most Fun Small Towns in America, Santa Claus has much more to offer than just holiday-themed fun. Last year we discovered the famed Holiday World & Splashin’ Safari, a theme and water park celebrating every holiday, in addition to Santa’s Candy Castle and Lake Rudolph Campground & RV Resort.
This year we visit even more attractions from horse stables to history. At Santa’s Stables, visitors can take long or brief horseback rides through trails in the woods while younger guests are offered pony rides. Kids will also enjoy Frosty’s Fun Center with mini-golf, games food and fun. Take the whole family car racing and space fighting in the arcade or on 18 holes seasonally.
The Santa Claus Museum and Village chronicles the town’s history all the way back to when it was called Santa Fee. Explore the documents, artifacts and antique toys from the past, including letters to Santa from around the world. The original Santa Claus Church, Statue and Post Office are also on site.
Also enjoy shopping and dining locally with St. Nick’s Restaurant, Santa’s Mom “U”nique Botique, the Christmas Store and Kringle Place Shopping Center. A lodge and cottages are available in addition to the campground as well. For more on what makes Santa Claus so fun view its reviews.

Nestled in the peaceful rolling farmland of Southern Indiana is the quaint little town of Santa Claus Indiana. In the midst of all this beautiful scenery is Holiday World. Family run theme park that is not only fun, but the friendliest, cleanest, and best valued park I have EVER been to across the nation. You feel like every time you go you are "coming home" to a family members amusement park in their back yard, but~in this instance, Holiday World happens to be one of the most up to date amusement parks around. Always improving their selection of rides and entertainment to the point, year after year, there is a sense of familiarity and a sense of new discovery. Never boring, always interesting, and always entertaining for the entire family, from 1 to 100. The Koch (?sp) family are wonders at making everyone feel welcome time and time again. And the value~ an amusement park and a water park for under $50, plus all the free drinks you and your family could ever want. And personally I think they have the best burgers anywhere outside a nice restaurant. Positively a must stop~
