A great memory my family has is of when my boy two oldest were just little. We went camping and visited Santa’s Village in Bracebridge Ontario. Fishing and hours of family fun made the drive well worth it. The beautiful scenery and fresh clean air was so nice, we did not want to leave. Since we have been back to Ontario, Santa’s Village has been on our must visit list and we plan on visiting before the season is out.
Santa’s Village is one of Bracebridge’s most famous and popular tourist destinations.Nestled in Muskoka’s Enchanted Forest, halfway between the North Pole and the equator on the 45th parallel, it is – naturally – Santa’s summer home of choice. The Village boasts two theme parks, a day camp, animals, and a family campground, where kids of all ages can visit Santa, enjoy rides, games, and countless other family-friendly activities.
The Splash pad at Santa’s Village is now triple the size so make sure you bring your swim suits. Sportsland also boasts go-karts, mini-golf, laser tag and more for older kids. For anyone wanting to spend a night or more there are fantastic camping options as well.
