Tips & Advice
- Bring a non-perishable food item, cash or a new toy with you, since a donation is how you get into Santa Village.
- Time your visit for the Santa window, because Santa is there for fewer hours than the village itself is open each weekend day.
- Dress the kids warmly if you plan to take the sleigh ride, since it's outdoors in a Grand Forks December.
- Don't bother signing up ahead, because no registration is needed and you can just drop in during the weekend hours.
