Explore a little piece of the North Pole at Santa Village! The Fargo Park District presents Santa Village at Rheault Farm in South Fargo. Bring the whole family to Santa Village, this month-long event is open through December 23. 

Santa Village is an opportunity for children and the young at heart to meet Santa and Mrs. Claus while celebrating the holiday season. Some of the activities planned include visiting Santa, decorating a cookie with Mrs. Claus, meeting Santa’s reindeer, making a holiday craft, seeing a model train display, enjoying festive lights and more holiday fun. Don’t forget to bring your camera so you can take a picture next to Santa!  

For the safety of our staff and the community, masks are required for all indoor activities at Santa Village. When visiting Santa, kids will be sitting on a stool next to him. There are two photo options to take your picture with Santa, one is sitting next to him with your mask on and the other is standing 6-feet away with your mask off. 

Horse-Drawn Carriage Rides are also available every Saturday and Sunday (weather permitting) from 2:00-5:00 pm. Tickets for carriage rides are available for purchase for $2.50 per person.
