Santa's Enchanted Forest

Santa's Enchanted Forest is awesome. Upon entering, you feel like the holidays are truly here and you enter a Winter Wonderland. A definite must do when you come to Florida in the Fall/Winter. This is not only for children but adults can have a blast as well. The price includes most everything with the exception of food. Not only do they have fantastic rides, the also have the most entertaining shows not only for kids but for grown-ups. In addition, the food choices are great. You can have true ""carnival"" food but options for healthy choices are available. My family and I go at least two or three times a season and it's a wonderful place to meet and walk around with multiple friends and families. The kids always have a blast and would probably go every day if we let them. more

It would be fine, except the ""use"" of animals. I saw the same ponies walking in a tight circle for 8 hours (neck tied to a post), a poor elephant being forced to do tricks, etc etc. I had read similar info before (heard a pony died during one of these) but got dragged by friends hoping times had changed for the sake of my kid. They hadn't - this really ruined our time. \r \r I don't see the point - does anyone go for that stuff? Did not like having my kid exposed to it. If you wouldn't take your kid to the circus because you don't want them to see beaten animals forced to do tricks then don't go here - not worth it. I now understand why when you enter the parking lot the ARFF is protesting out front. Sad sad sad more

Santas Forest is a great night of nonstop family entertainment. My family and I go every year for the price of what you get its very affordable. The Lights & displays are awsome. The rides and free shows are all included for one low price. Our favorite show is the Lance Gifford magic show is amazing and year after year the magic show is the topic of conversation how did they do that. Be sure to catch all the shows they are great the Magic show is the best of all.\r I would highly recomend Santas my entire family gives it a 10 on a scale of 1-10. more

WOW! From the food to the lights and rides - we had a blast!!! I am not much of a ""ride guy"" anymore however my 4 year old son made up for me - his quote of the night was ""Again'! We took dozens of pictures of the lights and displays. We ate the best carnival food,ummm! Santa's has out done themselves again this year. We will definetly go again - how can you not with elephant ears and gyros?!? BTW - I did not realize how many rides and how large the park was - my feet are feeling it today (LOL). Happy Holidays! Pros: Go early - easy on the lines and wait Cons: Not enough stomach space for all the food ;)! more
