"Took some residents here’s for a day trip and it was amazing! Very kind folks working here, they took the time to answer any and all questions and took a group photo for us as well. Great experience and will definitely be back!"
"The cutest place ever. Santa was so sweet and the museum was very cool. The letters to Santa are cute and the little play area is nice."
"Lots to see! They have a train display the kids can play with! The church is beautiful! Santa claus statue has 4 different sayings on the bottom. They were fixing some things at the post office so we couldn't get in there. Plan on spending at least an hour and a half to see and do things if not longer."
"Great little museum that tells the history of the town and exactly how the town got its name. In the museum you can get paper and an envelope to write a letter to Santa, (which will get a reply in December, signed by the big guy himself!!). You mail your letter in the village post office which is directly next to the museum. Next you'll visit the historic church on the property and then next to that is the 22ft tall gigantic statue of Santa Claus! Super fun and lots of great photo opportunities!! Highly recommend!"
"Very friendly soul in the museum. She gave us a brief summary of the place. Interesting artifacts, letters and writings from the past (even before the turn of the century!) The church was simply amazing to walk through, the craftsmanship is inspiring. Neat place to visit if you want the history of Santa Claus, IN. Children can write letters to Santa and they will get a response in December. So awesome. Highly recommend!"
