It boasts several kid-friendly attractions, including a reindeer farm with sleigh rides, and Santa Park, a subterranean Disneyesque recreation of St. Nick's abode. (The big guy in the red suit is available for photo-ops.) The kids can even hand deliver their Christmas letters at Santa Claus' post office, which comes complete with a souvenir shop manned by elves.
