Santa Land — The Original Texas Drive-Thru Christmas Park
Once upon a time, in a land not too far away in Texas, there resides a place called Santa Land that's known for its brilliant light displays, themed areas and millions of lights that can be seen for miles through the East Texas piney woods of Lindale, Texas. It also happens to be home to country superstar Miranda Lambert. This drive-thru, Christmas park wonderland is the perfect place to take the family for holiday fun.Located just north of Tyler, I distinctly remember driving down I-20 West and seeing the bright illumination in the trees being given off by the glow of the lights in the park. As you enter the 24-acre park, you are surrounded by more than two million lights everywhere you drive.
The Tunnel of Lights features 25,000 flashing, dancing lights, and as you exit the 250-foot tunnel there are 12-foot tall toy soldiers saluting you. Several sections of this park have themed areas with lots of Christmas music coordinated with the displays to give you the ultimate holiday experience.
Santa Land Texas Original Drive-thru Christmas Park is open seven days a week now until January 4 including holidays from 6PM to 10:30PM. Unlike most parks that charge a fee per person, Santa Land charges $25 per car. Commercial vans under 15 passengers costs $35 per van. Groups of 25 or more are $8 per person and Santa Tractor trailer rides are available starting for $12 per person (groups of 25 or more $8 per person) and children two and under get in free.
While you're there be sure and check out the Snack Shack and Gift Shop for some hot chocolate or a photo with Santa Claus. Kids will love the newly expanded toy department.
