Located just 3 miles from the southern entrance to Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Santa's Land Fun Park and Zoo has been delighting generations of families since 1966. The park is seasonal, so you need to plan your visit for some time between mid May and the end of October. Children (and adults) can enjoy a ride in Santa's sleigh on the Rudicoaster, ride the miniature train, and get to meet Santa in his very own mountain hideaway. There is a petting zoo where you can see several exotic animals from around the world and the kids will love being a part of the magic show.
