Ever since we discovered North Carolina’s best kept secret, Santa’s Land in Cherokee back in the ‘90s, we’ve been chasing kitschy, nostalgic theme parks. The more bizarre and surreal the better … Dinosaur Land (White Post, VA, Professor Cline’s Haunted Monsters Museum (Natural Bridge, VA), and Storybook Land (Egg Harbor Township, NJ) just to name a few. It’s hard to say no to these wonderful time capsules. One that’s been on our list for years is the original Santa’s Land (no affiliation) in Putney, Vermont, which celebrates its 65th anniversary in 2022. After years of neglect and abandonment, I must admit we were a little apprehensive about the park taking on a more contemporary look. But thankfully that wasn’t the case. We found the park to be quite enchanting complete with gingerbread men, life size elves from the 1950’s and even an original carousel from Coney Island. Their larger-than-life slide will quickly remind you just how much fun can be had with a burlap sack. We had the pleasure of speaking with the new owner (of six and a half years). He recalled how he used to visit the park as a young child, and always told his parents that he wanted to one day own all of this. He not only made his dream come true, but he also saved the park from oblivion. The friendly staff seem to have a real passion for keeping this park alive and it shows! Thank you, THANK YOU, for a wonderful day. Santa’s Land USA is a perfect balance of old and new for all to enjoy!

Very nostalgic. Well maintained. Very quaint. Beautifully decorated. Brought us joy. Wish the train thru the park was running but it's out for repair.

Santa's Land was amazing!! My girls had a blast and can't wait to go back. The park was clean and staff was friendly. Rides were opened and no long lines. Food was cash only in the park but food was reasonably priced.

Cute place to spend an hour or two with little kids. A few basic rides, a slide, and a lot of moving holiday themed diaramas. I want this place to make it! There is a market and a lot of potential. Employees were nice, and it was clean and tidy. For little kids it could keep them busy for a couple of hours. My suggestion to make it work without a huge cash infusion? Check out the farm adventures which are popular where I live in Maryland, such as Gaver Farm or Summers Farm Adventure, and see the awesome activities and attractions they have made with basic farm and garden stuff, these places attract thousands of people per day, and Santa Land could easily emulate what they are doing with a Santa theme. Good luck!

Hello I was wondering what kind of stuff is going on there for kids and stuff

Alex Kelley | Sep 13, 2018
Richard Greenleaf | Sep 13, 2018

At this time of year, it probably depends on the weather as to exactly what all is available. We took my niece on Christmas Eve and at that time the carousel, Santa's house, the iceberg slide, the school house, the snack shop, the sweet shop, and the train were all open, though there were a couple of kiddie rides that weren't open and were snowed snd iced in thanks to the recent snow storm and the rains that froze over night to form an icy crust. They might have been opened had that not occured. There is a giant slide that appears to be more a late spring and summer type ride and there was a "mill" that had a sign that said closed til spring. It is a small park and the new owner is trying to return it to what it once was, apparently just having reopened it in November.

So santa is not in the north pole anymore?

finish up the question, if I was the owner, the park would be open 7 days a week in the summer, and open 8 hours a day every day. 12 noon to 8 pm in the summer. to give people more time to get there. will bring more people to the park. Im in VT.

Donald Brown | Feb 14, 2022
Kate D. | Feb 14, 2022

Go to Putney town hall and find out owner.

is Santa,s Land up for sale. if it is I would be interested. I could add something to the park to make it better, bring in more people, add more kids rides and some adult rides. and attractions. get a SBA loan for financing. open 8 hours a day.

Donald Brown | Feb 14, 2022
Jake Harmon | Feb 14, 2022

No it's not for sale and not listed any real estate service. I think any astute person who is capable or thinking of running such a place would not ask on Google, but would contact the management per their phone number or email on the parks website.

I remember the igloo pancake house from when I was younger, is it still there?

RJBTrueBlue99 | Sep 13, 2018
Richard Greenleaf | Sep 13, 2018

I think I remember seeing it on thetrain ride, the building that is. As of Christmas Eve 2017 there were three places to get something to eat or snack on, The gift shop, the candy shop, and the snack shop. There was an igloo shaped building we rode by on the train ride that looked like it should be some kind of resturant that wasn't operating as anything. But then the gentlemen who owns Santa's Land now is trying to get it back on it's feet and restore it somewhat to what it once was so maybe this year or sometime in the future they'll reopen the pancake house.
