点评:This can’t be missed if you’re visiting the area!
We stopped by in December while chasing all the Christmas magic — and that’s exactly what led us here. What a cute surprise this turned out to be. I had nothing pre‑planned beyond “we’re heading that way,” and the rest just fell into place.
We stayed for about an hour (for FREE!) and honestly could’ve stayed longer if we’d slowed ourselves down a little. We arrived expecting a small museum… not realising it’s actually a full village. The original Santa Claus Post Office still stands, offering the sweetest opportunity to send Santa a letter — and yes, we received our reply all the way back home in Australia, complete with the Elf postmark.
There’s also the little church and the famous giant Santa statue standing proudly for everyone to admire. The museum itself is full of nostalgic flashbacks — toys from different eras, displays that spark fun memories, and plenty of talking points with other visitors. Reading the letters from children around the world was something I wasn’t prepared for… some made me laugh, and a few definitely required a tissue.
We absolutely loved it here. It’s also a great chance to stretch your legs and enjoy the open space — something you don’t always expect right off the road. Entry was free, though I happily supported them by buying from the gift store.
The staff tinkering around the grounds were wonderful — locals who welcome a little conversation and admiration, and who genuinely love sharing the history behind this special place.
Definitely add this stop if you’re keen to understand the history and traditions woven into your itinerary. It’s simple, sweet, and full of heart.

去年十二月,我们为了追寻圣诞的魔力,顺道来到这里——也正是这份魔力把我们带到了这里。这真是一个令人惊喜的发现。我之前除了“我们要去那边”之外,什么都没计划,一切都顺理成章地发生了。
我们在这里待了一个小时左右(而且是免费的!),说实话,如果我们放慢脚步,真想待更久一些。我们原本以为这里只是个小型博物馆……没想到它竟然是一个完整的圣诞村。最初的圣诞老人邮局至今仍然屹立,为游客提供了一个给圣诞老人写信的绝佳机会——没错,我们甚至收到了远在澳大利亚的回信,上面还盖着精灵的邮戳。
这里还有一座小教堂和著名的巨型圣诞老人雕像,巍然屹立,供所有人瞻仰。博物馆本身也充满了怀旧的气息——不同时代的玩具、能唤起美好回忆的展品,以及许多可以和其他游客交流的话题。阅读来自世界各地孩子的来信,让我始料未及……有些信让我开怀大笑,有些则让我感动得热泪盈眶。
我们非常喜欢这里。这里也是一个绝佳的机会,可以舒展筋骨,享受开阔的空间——这种体验在公路旁并不常见。虽然这里免费入场,但我还是在礼品店买了些东西,以示支持。
在园区里忙碌的工作人员都很棒——他们是当地人,乐于与人交谈,欣赏他们的工作,并且真心喜欢分享这个特别地方背后的历史。
如果你想了解融入行程的历史和传统,一定要把这里列入行程。这里简单、温馨,充满温情。
