The Charming Christmas Village In Utah You’ll Want To Visit This Season

Since 1961, Utahns from all over the state have visited the Christmas Village in Ogden. With its adorable cottages and sparkling lights, how can you not be enchanted by this charming little village?

Ogden's Christmas Village opened for the first time in 1961. It was originally just a small attraction.

Today, the Christmas Village is one of the most-visited Christmas attractions in the state. The village includes 70 cottages, tons of twinkle lights and nightly entertainment.

The village is alight every night. Wander through this winter wonderland from 5:00 p.m. to midnight.

The Christmas Village is free!

Make sure to bundle up nice and warm so you can spend a lot of time checking out these adorable little cottages.

The Christmas Village is located at 343 25th Street in Ogden. If you're coming from out of town, consider riding Front Runner - the station is within walking distance.

While you're in the village, visit Santa and Mrs. Claus. They're in Santa's Cottage Monday through Friday from 6pm to 9pm, Saturday from 5pm to 9pm.

Santa's Castle is right in front of the amphitheater. Check out a few of the other cottages...
