About this adventure

Spanning 35 rolling wooded acres in Eureka, Santa's Magical Kingdom is one of the Midwest's largest and most dazzling holiday light displays, featuring more than four million animated twinkling lights. Families can journey through the glowing forest in their own vehicle, or board the open-air Santa's Holiday Train or tractor-drawn holiday wagons. Afterwards, kids can visit Kringle's General Store to meet Santa Claus, deliver wish letters to the North Pole mailbox, and browse whimsical holiday toys, handmade fudge, and piping hot cocoa. Family Experience & Accessibility: • Drive-Through Option: Relax in the warmth of your car with your favorite holiday soundtrack playing on the radio. • Train & Wagon Rides: Open-air train and wagon rides depart regularly for families wanting an immersive outdoor experience (warm blankets recommended). • Restrooms & Food: Heated indoor restrooms with changing tables are located inside Kringle's General Store, alongside fresh fudge, snacks, and hot cider. • Sensory Tips: Monday through Thursday evenings offer significantly shorter vehicular lines than peak weekend nights.
