Santa’s Village says its season-opening weekend schedule covers Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24, from 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. each day. The same page says the park is closed on Memorial Day Monday, May 25. The park’s broader 2026 dates-and-hours calendar says Santa’s Village plans to open on select dates from late May into December. The calendar also says operating dates are subject to change. ### What does admission include when the park opens? Santa’s Village says admission includes unlimited rides, shows and attractions. The park’s ticket page also says admission includes visits with Santa and his reindeer, the Elfabet scavenger hunt and prize, a ring from the blacksmith, stroller use and parking.

Santa’s Village describes itself as a Christmas-themed park in Jefferson and says its attractions include family rides, shows and seasonal entertainment. The park’s homepage highlights visits with Santa and his reindeer, a water park and the Midnight Flyer family roller coaster. Visit White Mountains’ listing for Santa’s Village says the park remains independently owned and operated by generations of one family for more than 70 years. That regional listing also promotes rides, entertaining shows, “elfabet” elves and gingerbread cookies. ### Why is the Memorial Day listing worth checking before visiting? Visit White Mountains published its Memorial Day events roundup on May 12 and said travelers could choose from “adventures at Santa’s Village and Story Land” along with other events across the region. The tourism group framed the post as a guide to White Mountains activities over the holiday weekend. The Santa’s Village calendar says dates and hours are subject to change, which makes the park’s own schedule page the key source before a visit. The park also posts separate pages for later seasonal events, including the Jolly June FEASTival in the first three weekends of June. ### What comes after opening weekend? June 6 is the first date listed for Santa’s Village’s Jolly June FEASTival, a separate special event scheduled for June 6, 7, 13, 14, 20 and 21. The park says FEASTival hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. and that food and beverages are included with that event’s admission.
