Touring Santa’s North Pole Is The Jolliest Adventure You Can Take In Arkansas

When thinking of the jolliest place around, the North Pole undoubtedly comes to mind. It IS home to hardworking elves, flying reindeer, and Santa and Mrs. Clause, after all. And while the North Pole (and all its whimsy) might seem worlds away, it’s actually much closer than you think. In fact, it’s right here in the Natural State!

Santa’s North Pole in Jonesboro has been bringing the wonders of the North Pole to Arkansas since 2014.

Coming a long way in just a few years, Santa’s North Pole has grown into a magical attraction full of fun events and unbelievable décor.

The highlight of the attraction is a massive indoor display that showcases the sights and sounds of the North Pole.

Created with the help of world-renowned animation artist, Lou Nasti, the walk-thru display features amazingly detailed scenes, animated figures, and more than 200 glowing Christmas trees.

There are also some familiar faces to interact with along the way.

After walking through the display, a visit to the gift shop is a must. Not only is it stocked with great merchandise, but it’s home to a life-size gingerbread house!

The festive fun doesn’t end with the display, though.

Since the opening of Santa’s North Pole, new experiences have been added every holiday season.

Visitors can now enjoy a whole slew of seasonal festivities, including photos with Santa, reindeer encounters, themed character days, DIY s’mores, concessions, and more.

Santa's North Pole is open from late-November through Christmas Eve each year.
