Santa’s Enchanted Forest couldn’t be prouder to be celebrating its 35th anniversary in South Florida. When the doors open on November 2, you can expect to experience the holiday spirit, joy and fun that have kept visitors smiling and laughing for the last 35 years.

This anniversary, Santa’s wants to express its appreciation to its South Florida community and family for making Santa’s a success year after year.  We also want to take the opportunity to say a sincere thank you to all the first responders – firemen, police officers and paramedics – who not only jump to service during a crisis, but are also on site at Santa’s every season in the event of emergencies.

To further show our gratitude, South Florida’s first responders and their guests* are invited to enjoy Santa’s Opening night festivities!*  Santa’s will kick off the 2017 season with it’s annual tree lighting ceremony and a special dedication in honor of all the heroic efforts made for public safety.   Members of the Miami-Dade County Commission will also be present to express their appreciation. The celebration begins at 6:30pm. Join us November 2 as this exciting season gets under way! We hope to see you there.
