History of Santa's Enchanted Forest It is difficult to feel the Christmas season approaching in Miami. Between the long days, warm spring-like temperatures and lack of snow, it is sometimes impossible to get in the spirit. When these days get the better of you, go where Christmas is in the air- Santa's Enchanted Forest. Only Scrooge himself wouldn't ho-ho-ho here! At the corner of Bird Road and the Palmetto Expressway (826), Miami-Dade owned Tropical Park has been transformed into a winter wonderland of lights and displays for the holiday season. Santa's Enchanted Forest boasts over 3 million lights that are sure to delight every age. At the center of the park is the 90-foot Christmas tree lit from top to bottom. From traditional displays of Santa in his workshop to popular children's characters like the Power Puff Girls and Blue's Clues, there truly is something for everyone. Don't forget to stop by and see Santa while you're there, or drop him a letter in a special mailbox guaranteed to get to the jolly old man in time for Christmas. Santa's Enchanted Forest also has a carnival with 50 rides, 20 children's rides, a petting zoo, pony rides, and 9 live shows. Live shows include The Victor Flores Circus Thrill Show, Gifford and Roy Magic, the BMX Stunt and Thrill Show, Dondi the Elephant and the Amazing Juggling Show. Food tents offer traditional carnival fair like candy apples and funnel cake as well as international cuisine from Greece, Mexico and Italy. Carnival games give you the chance to win souvenirs to take home or to give your special Christmas someone. Santa's Enchanted Forest runs from November 8, 2007- January 6, 2008. Hours of operation are from 5pm to midnight, seven days a week. Although it is billed as "The World's Largest Christmas Theme Park and Free Carnival," this is a little misleading- don't leave your wallet at home. Admission to the carnival, including rides, is free wih a ticket to the Christmas Park, which is $23.50 for adults, $15.50 for children 9 and under, and free for children under 2. There is also a season pass option, where one pass gets you in every night except Saturdays and Chirstmas day. Season pass holders don't have to wait in line to get in, which can be quite a madhouse some nights. Prices for the season pass are $35.51 for age 10 & over, and $25.23 for kids 9 & younger. Parking is free. For more information, call (305) 559-9689 Tourist Attractions in Santa's Enchanted Forest Hope Valley, Rhode Island - The Enchanted Forest - Remnants
The Enchanted Forest rests along the road as if it wasn't really there. A large parking lot where old carnival trucks sit unmoving. It's easy to get inside, as there is no gate on the fence. There are still quite a few things to see -- go carts, houses and leftovers of rides. A large pirate ship is rotting away and quite dangerous when wet.
