## About

Located just north of Houston in College Station, Santa's Wonderland is the ultimate 150-acre Texas-sized Christmas theme park, drawing families from across the state for over 25 years. The centerpiece is the legendary Santa's Hayride Tour and horse-drawn carriage trail, where passengers ride through more than four million twinkling lights depicting Texas stars, cowboy boot arches, armadillos, oil derricks, and majestic nativity scenes.

The park features Frostbite's Mountain—a multi-lane real snow tubing hill—and Frostbite's Snow Playground where children can build authentic Texas snowmen in real snow. Stroll through the Texas Christmas Village for live country holiday music, mechanical bull rides, campfire s'mores, Texas barbecue, and warm peach cobbler, making it an extraordinary, unforgettable holiday day trip for Houston families.
