SantaLand — Attraction in Lindale

I have wanted to go to this place for years! Yet, my parents never wanted to go because the lines were too long. My husband never wanted to go because the lines were too long. This year, I was driving so I made the decision that we were going regardless of the lines.🤶🏻 we didn’t have to wait very long because they keep the lines moving as quickly as possible. The pricing is good if you have a family, because they charge by the carload actually, even for the two of us, we thought the pricing was fair. Please note, we chose not to go to the store because we went after Christmas and didn’t need to do any shopping. The lights were absolutely fabulous! It is not a stretch to say that they were magical! I’m saying this as an adult. if you have children or grandchildren, this would be worth the money to take them. It would be worth it to check ahead, but I think they had hayrides. If so, I would join one of those with your kids. The one caveat is that if you have a low riding vehicle, you are driving through someone’s pasture in the middle of the country, you are driving up and down a few arroyos and some bumpy places. The owners have done everything in their power to ensure the driving is smooth, but an SUV or pick up would be preferable. The pictures I am posting for you to see may be a bit blurry, but no, they were taken at night and that unless the person in front of you has stopped, you are not allowed to stop. Also, I was not in charge of picture taking because I...

I've wanted to visit Santa Land for years, but the thought of long lines always deterred me. This year, I finally took the plunge, and I'm so glad I did! Despite my past hesitations, the lines moved surprisingly quickly, which was a huge relief. They truly keep things flowing efficiently, so the wait was minimal.

The pricing structure, which charges by the carload, is incredibly fair, especially for families. Even for just two of us, we found it to be a great value. The absolute highlight was the lights – they were nothing short of fabulous, truly magical even for an adult like me! If you have children or grandchildren, this experience would undoubtedly be worth every penny. I'd also recommend checking ahead for hayrides; if available, they seem like a fantastic addition for kids.

A small note for visitors: since you're driving through a country pasture with some bumpy spots and arroyos, a vehicle with higher clearance like an SUV or pickup is preferable, though the owners do their best to smooth the path. Taking pictures can be a bit tricky as you're not allowed to stop, but the blurriness of my photos (taken while driving) doesn't diminish the wonder of the display. We chose to skip the gift shop since we visited after Christmas, but I heard it's filled with amazing things. Overall, it was an unbelievable and highly recommended experience that...

We recently visited Santaland, and while the drive-through light display was absolutely magical, the rest of the experience left much to be desired.

The lights were vibrant and beautifully arranged, creating a festive atmosphere that we truly enjoyed. However, the photo session with Santa was a major letdown. For over $25, we received only 5 photos instead of the advertised 10, and every single photo had my arm cut off. The rushed and unprofessional setup meant no retakes were offered, leaving us disappointed with what should have been a cherished keepsake.

To top it off, the concessions were overpriced. A simple cup of hot cocoa—basically Swiss Miss—cost $4, which felt like another unnecessary upcharge.

While the lights are a highlight, the overall experience fell short due to poor attention to detail and high prices for...
