Avoid if you love animals

by sarahjacinto

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.

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

Santas Enchanted Forest great value for the entire family

by babysylvia

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.

I would highly recomend Santas my entire family gives it a 10 on a scale of 1-10.

Fantastic Time with the Family on the Opening Night!

by jmiz

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 ;)!

Half a mile of light displays, carnival attractions and rides at Miami's only seasonal theme park.

In Short
There are more than 100 rides, shows and attractions at this gigantic park. There is a fee for entry, but parking is free. A small price to pay so that the kids can visit Santa, see a 90-foot-tall Christmas tree, three million lights, ride ponies, stop by the petting zoo, and go on a carnival ride.
