Do You Remember Santa's Village in Lake Arrowhead CA?

SkyPark at Santa's Village is an outdoor adventure park with year-round mountain biking, hiking, fly fishing and open air activities in the Skyforest section of Lake Arrowhead, California. It opened on December 2, 2016, on the site of the former Santa's Village amusement park, which operated from 1955 until 1998.

Thanks for incorporating the old commercials. Took me back to my childhood TV viewing, even though I never got to visit it.

[@EricCProductions76]

thanks for watching. I was the same way, always saw the commercials and never went there.

Oh I remember that place. Was awesome growing up. Took my kids there later in life and it was a dump. But still they loved it. Merry Christmas my friend

Growing up in the Inland Empire during the 90s, I used to see the commercials for Santa’s Village on tv almost all the time. I never had the opportunity to go; but I remember driving by the location in the early 2000s, and they still had the bee monorail ride intact. If I recall correctly, the parking lot was being used as a staging area for lumber or construction. Btw, Merry Christmas! Can’t wait to see more videos from you in the new year!

[@EricCProductions76]

Lots of videos coming soon!

It was sad to see it closed down at one point. But was happy to see it is now reopened.

My mom used to take me to the one in Lake Arrowhead in the 70s. I remember being chosen to sit backstage for a puppet show. A wire from one of the puppets got snagged on my sleeve & my arm got yanked around as the show went on.

I'm soooo old!!! I remember the Inland Empire had the 714 area code and then the 909 as shown!!!

[@chrissaenz6213]

Do you remember Lake Dolores? Do that one.

[@EricCProductions76]

[@dadzilla8015]

[@mikeveis6393]

[@chrisstott4100]

I am from Indiana and it reminds me a little of Santa Claus Land. It is now called Holiday World in Santa Claus, Indiana. Merry Christmas!

[@EricCProductions76]

Merry Christmas to you and your family

[@dadzilla8015]

Isn't Jay Cutler from there? No, the QB lol! It's actually a beautiful area

[@chrisstott4100]

What did you ask for Christmas this year 🎄🤔

[@EricCProductions76]

Just people to watch my videos and reminisce about the places from their childhood or past.

[@darrylh1971]

It mentions Santa's Village in Dundee, Illinois. Maybe in 2024 you do videos for these other defunct Illinois theme parks: "Do you remember Kiddieland in Melrose Park, Illinois?", "Do you remember Dispensa's Kiddie Kingdom and Dispensa's Castle of Toys in Oak Brook, Illinois?"

[@EricCProductions76]

Will look into those! Thanks for the suggestions

I wanted to go here so badly as a kid! I remember begging my parents to take me, but we never went. Wanted one of those gingerbread men too
