For the last 32 years, Santa’s Enchanted Forest has been offering family fun in Miami. I have some good memories of going to Santa’s while I was in highschool and even more recently with my husband and kiddos.

In addition to seeing all the beautiful displays, taking a picture with Santa, the yummy elephant ears, the rides are free with paid admission. That’s right, you pay once, ride all night for free.

Here are some tips for saving time, money and your sanity at Santa’s Enchanted Forest

  • Go Sunday – Thursday for less of a crowd.
  • Arrive at 5pm. You get better parking and less people there.
  • Start with the rides and end with the decorations.  That way you get less lines at the rides and you get to enjoy all the Christmas lights at night.
  • Bring cash for food. There is an ATM available but there is a service fee for using it.
  • If you’re going to buy a soda, buy the large drink with $3.00 refills
  • Eat a meal before you go so that you spend less on food.
  • Buy your tickets online to avoid long lines for purchasing tickets.
  • Check out their Facebook page for coupons
  • If you’ve been there a while and you’re tired of walking, save some cash for the bicycles at the exit that can take you to your car.

My family and I had a great time at Santa’s Enchanted Forest and we look forward to going again!
