"Hey Rudolph!" "Hey how are you?" " :0 "

[@Queeniej53054]

Santa’s Village opened on June 21, 1953 been there more times then I can count. Once I had a child of my own I spent a lot of time circling the park on the train. Rudolph’s rollercoaster was cool and the sky sleigh.

[@bwildcatboy]

The great humbug adventure has seen a massive overhaul and is now an ultra modern interactive dark ride. You should cover it once again

[@kathyflorcruz552]

What a beautiful, clean Santa's Village! Wow!🎅🎄🇺🇸

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Kathy Florcruz - I agree!! 🙂👍

[@DeeM30]

They take really good care of it. It's always been super clean every time we've visited. :)

[@alexthetourist5759]

I like the Mother holding her child going " why is there a grown man sitting on that giant bunny?" 🤣🤣🤣

[@DonnaBrooks]

I love how you do things most adults wouldn't do, like slide down slides, climb up on laps of statues, crawl into & through places, & ride coin-operated rides! That's the way I am. I'm like a little kid.

[@kingdelbert]

Very unique Rudolph animatronic. Someone behind the barn operates and does the voice like puppetry. Obviously that means his voice would vary.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Justin Delbert 🙂👍👍

[@memethyst]

yeah i've seen in some videos it's a girl and sometimes it's a guy. when i was a kid it was always a girl. and they never try to sound like rudolph either [i mean i guess it's not supposed to be the rankin bass rudolph but still]

[@everettfryman1024]

Does anyone know if this audioanimatronic is a Garner Holt product?

[@Zenmaster4596]

@@everettfryman1024 No. The original Rudolph animatronic was created by Creative Engineering in the 70s before it was modernize in 2010

This is the most legit Santa theme park I’ve ever seen. I’d actually want to visit this one. I loved the dark ride. Very cool!

[@thestrangeone1294]

I live near and they just updated the dark ride! Whole new track layout, fancy new animatronics, very fun!

What a great place that is. Hope it never closes

[@waynerobillard731]

I live in Massachusetts, I'm 66 years old and just to show you how long this place has been around I remember missing a chance to go there when I was a kid because there are so many attractions in New Hampshire that we tried to do everything in one day and never got to Santa's Village. After watching your video I think I would still enjoy it today at my age. Thanks for bringing it to life.

[@donnabrat1503]

I love your comment. I'm 59 and we only got to go to Santa's Village and Storyland in one day. Never saw Lost River until I took my own children. Also never got to Six Gun City. All my friends went camping and saw Six Gun and Lost River, I was so mad. I have a vacation/retirement home a couple of miles from Storyland, never thought of going since my kids have grown. This inspired me to go again to both places.

[@waynerobillard731]

@@donnabrat1503 Thanks for your reply Donna. The problem with Santa's Village and Six Gun City was that they were much farther North than the places I did get to see ( Polar Caves, Lost River, The Gorge and Clark's Trading Post ). I don't for the life of me know why we never made a second trip into Maine. After all my childhood did last more than a day, but it never happened and perhaps it's not too late to relive a good childhood memory.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Donna Dubnow , wow... that sounds like a lot of fun though!!! 🙂👍👋

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

Wayne Robillard , we had a Never Never Land here in Washington State... got thrashed though... I filmed a before and after videos if you would like to watch them? Would love for you to subscribe! 🧡🙂👍👋

[@donnabrat1503]

For some reason, we also only went to the White Mountains once as kids. It wasn't until I brought my kids to Storyland that we ended up coming up here all the time. However, we also could go to Whalom Park several times a year. My kids only went to amusement parks once a year. The parks with the pay one price are just too expensive now.

[@westport17782010]

This Santa Village is Great** All the Rides Are FUN*

[@itdidnotworkmichael]

Santa’s village is one of the best up kept parks you’ll find. Clean, friendly and keeps its vintage we all remember as kids but still improving and adding new things from time to time. You totally missed the water park which is pretty awesome on those hot summer days👍🏻

[@SuV33358]

I love these kitchy places.....so fun!!🎅🎅🎅🤶🤶💂

[@RhettyforHistory]

I love vcd all these old Christmas themed parks! Santa with the accent was cool too!

[@RhettyforHistory]

@@ghostcityshelton9378 I'm doing fine and I hope you are as well!

[@ghostcityshelton9378]

@@RhettyforHistory I haven't forgotten about sending you some cool coins. Some ya keep...some you can sell, like Barbar dimes. Will give some free coin apps in the inclosed letter. (Barbra coins some can go for a few hundred, to a $1,000. or more.) I've already worn out three pairs of shoes...that's alittle walking but they were thrift store shoes & not new to begin with. 😉 I found a Quarter sized beautiful gold coin but can't find info on it yet. The date is 1886, the front & back like like a Morgan looks but on the back on the bottom it says 5 D . --- Found that & a Walking Liberty date 1919 and some Barbar dimes. My 1st graded coin was a Quarter and got a grade of 69. The best grade you can get is a 70 ! I was jumping up and down...like someone had won the lottery, the mail lady laughed along with me. It was just nice to see a 69. Well take care dear friend.😙

"Santa's decapitated reindeer's" hahahahaha amazing! I love the elves you have to look for.Great video!

[@chuckoneill2023]

The thing that really makes this a great park is the happy, enthusiastic employees. Everyone seems to like their job. Oh, and I would go there just to get that keychain!!

[@hacyeons]

all the employees seemed pretty bored to me lmao.

[@paulasalisbury9971]

This was the best Santa's Village yet!

[@MinnieBB1997]

I remember visiting this place and Storyland when I was younger! I miss them, can’t wait to have kids of my own to take there someday. I also love watching vids of people going here to Santa’s Village just to see their reaction when Rudy responds to them! Is it bad that I’m 23 and want to go back to Santa’s Village and Storyland just for myself? 😂

[@soitgoes62]

No not at all!! Infact maybe you should plan a trip with some of your family or friends 😊

[@emilyt3377]

Not bad at all. I’ve never been here and would love to visit and I’m 40.

[@ck2d]

A++ because it opens in Nov-Dec, and although it is super freezing, especially if you go on the rides, it's gorgeous covered in snow.

[@erinbricker-urbanhistorian5803]

ck2d - wow, yes would be super cold! 😀

[@shanepleasants6280]

This is by far the nicest Santa themed park I’ve seen I’ve been to a lot this is top notch

[@paulkitsilis4920]

I grew up coming here in the summer as a child when I was 3 - 12 I'm 20 now and miss going there every year, its one of my fondest memories from my childhood, the atmosphere is beautiful and I cant wait to carry on the tradition with my future children, thank you for the nostalgia trip

[@Metalkitty33]

Nice ! You finally made it to Santa's Village in NH . I hope you enjoy our state .

[@tlm101155]

This Park has everything!

[@sideshowtink]

Most awesome place ever!

[@artsiguy]

This looks like a great place! The only thing missing is the ice-covered North Pole. I didn't know Santa had such a strong New England accent.

[@englishatheart]

I can't believe they couldn't find someone with an actual beard.

Polar Caves is a big pile of rocks with a wooden walkway and various small caves you can crawl around in. www.polarcaves.com/ Lost River is primarily a gorge with small waterfalls. Although I think there are a couple small caves one can squeeze through. Frankly, I thought Flume Gorge was the best of the three. The other two are alright though.
