The Wedding of Patrick and Hannah
Things To Do
Holiday World & Splashin' Safari
If you’re planning on staying in town for a bit check out ticket prices for a day at Holiday World! Patrick and I both grew up going there with our families and have fond memories to this day.
Santa Claus Museum & Village
Visit the Santa Claus Museum & Village to step into the town's fascinating history. Explore a collection of original town buildings dating back to 1856. Write a letter to Santa from the town's first post office. And, feel the ageless beauty as you walk into the completely original 1880 Santa Claus Church. Visit the fully restored 1935 Santa Statue, towering 22 feet tall and "dedicated to the children of the world."
Santa Claus Post Office
The Santa Claus Post Office is the only post office in the world with the Santa Claus name! Stop by to receive the famous Santa Claus postmark during the Christmas season and see where thousands of letters are mailed to Santa each year. The first Santa Claus Post Office opened its doors in 1856. The town's name did not peak interest however, until 1914 when Santa Claus' 14th postmaster, James Martin, took it upon himself to answer the children's letters. Soon after, people flocked to the Santa Claus Post Office to get the special postmark; so much that in the early 1930s the US Postal Department suggested changing the name of the town to avoid the Christmas season frenzy. Fortunately, for everyone, that did not happen!
Santa's Candy Castle
Stop in for a little treat, write a letter to Santa, or take a few pictures in front of the Santa Claus Candy Castle.
