Santa Claus House and Statue

Worth the stop -- lots of souvenirs. [Trinity, 01/22/2010]

[RA: And souvenirs make great Christmas gifts!]

Santa Claus Statue

Thought the Santa at North Pole's Santa Claus House deserved his own photo. [Adam Scott Lankford, 04/13/2007]

[RA: Guinness has recognized this Santa as the World's Largest: 42 feet tall on an 8-foot base. According to legend, he was built for the 1962 Seattle World's Fair and weighs 900 pounds.]

North Pole - Photo Opportunity

A couple of painted panels form a very colorful reminder of the town of North Pole. It's right behind the visitor center across from the Santa house. [Adam Scott Lankford, 09/11/2006]

[RA: We like that, even in Alaska, you must resort to painted plywood to complete the North Pole illusion.]

Santa Claus House

A gift shop dedicated to Christmas. They even have a sleigh with a stuffed Santa Claus in the middle of the store. At certain times of day "Santa" roams the store and visits with customers. Nearby there is a reindeer barn with real reindeer. There's a set-up where you can send kids letters from Santa postmarked at the North Pole. [Heather Gyenes, 04/03/2003]
