Santa’s Village is open every day from Father’s Day Weekend in June through Labor Day in early September.
The park opens at 9:30 a.m. every day in the summer season. Closing time is 6 p.m. for the entire month of July and the first four weeks of August; closing time is 5 p.m. in June, August 28th-31st, September, and October.
The daily admission rate for 2017 is $32 per person; ages one, two and three enter for free.
The admission includes a full day of JOY and excitement, including: unlimited rides, shows, and attractions; live professional performances; the Elfabet game and prize; visits with Santa and his reindeer; a ring from our blacksmith; use of the water park; use of a stroller; parking; and loads of Christmas spirit and memorable family fun.
All of the shops and attractions are scheduled to operate daily, even in the rain; we sometimes need to temporarily close some rides when lightning is spotted.
Guests who enter the park during the final three hours of the operating day (that’s after 3pm in July and most of August, or after 2pm in June and August 28th-31st and September and October) receive a non-transferable “Return Pass” to visit for another full day during the season.
Bicknell’s Thrush is an extremely rare species with very limited breeding grounds. It is the rarest and most secretive of the breeding thrushes in North America and it is the only bird whose breeding is restricted to the Northeastern part of the continent. They usually breed at higher elevations, normally nesting above 3,000 ft. The unique and harsh climate is just what the birds prefer due to the combination of low vegetation and abundant moisture. The Mt. Washington Auto Road offers you a rare opportunity to view these obscure birds.
Our Bicknell’s Thrush Guided Tours leave early in the morning before the Mt. Washington Auto Road opens to the general public to insure there is as little additional noise or disturbance as possible. Our success rate at hearing and seeing this elusive thrush is quite good, but with the species in decline due to wintering habitat losses, there can be no guarantee of sightings.
Tours take place May 28, June 3, 6, 8, & 16, 2017
Tours depart from the base of the Auto Road at 6:00am and last approximately 2 hours.
Advanced reservations required.
