Review of Santa's Wonderland

Wow, where do I even begin. Parking is a nightmare...

Wow, where do I even begin. Parking is a nightmare even when you get there at 3:15. The staff had no idea what was going on or how to load a bus. The bus driver was courteous, probably the lone bright spot in this whole fiasco.

Ticket prices are 45 for adults and 35 for children over the age of 2. Why? This isn't Six Flags. They also said everything was included with that price, but as we found out, the only thing that was included was standing in line for hours on end.

We stood in line to see Santa for over 3 hours. Fortunately we were able to trade out and take the kid around the park because as we all know asking a 3 year old to stand patiently in line for over 3 hours is unrealistic.

So as we roam the park, which is so over crowded, you can't help but bump into people, we find the train ride. Hour wait. Moving on to the snowglobes. Ok now we are thinking this might be a good chance for a family photo. $25 just to go in and get a picture. Nope, moving on. Oh how about the petting zoo, nah that'll be $4. Never found what was included with the price of the ticket.

Finally we get to the front of the line to see Santa. Well Mrs. Clause was nice, but Santa had the personality of drying paint. Not to mention, Santa looked more like Charlie Daniels. We managed to get a few pictures taken and told Santa what we wanted for Christmas. We exit and BAM get hit with another $27 for a SINGLE 5x7 photo. Once we were done with that, we were so beat down that we left immediately.

In short, rabid elves that were hopped up on Red Bull and cocaine couldn't drag us back to this place. Too long of lines and way over priced. If I could give it less than 1 star I would.
