You really kind of know what you’re getting when reading about this place ahead of time so it’s hard to be too disappointed. Tourist trap? Over-priced gift store? Tacky Christmas decorations? There...

Great selection of souvenirs. The staff was really friendly and helpful. Santa recorded a video for our Grandchildren using their names.

Its Santa's spot in North Pole. So make a point to stop by and grab some true holiday cheer that only Santa and the Sweet Shop's delicious candied treats can deliver. I also heard my behavior while I visited has bumped me up a ☆ on Santa's list. My risk of coal is further lessening by the day after I send my loved ones their North Pole swag we picked up from the Santa House gift shop. We also made sure we got that Christmas card family photo knocked out early for 2022. Santa, please add a ☆ for my efficiency. And follow me for more quality reviews of America's great businesses to learn who has been naughty or nice to me.

Christmas in September? WHY NOT!?! We are off season so only got to look at the reindeer and shop the gift shop but that was so much fun! Many gifts purchased, not for Christmas but just souvenirs. Great shop if you are looking for something new to add to your Holiday decor or just everyday gift items.

Fun place. Santa Clause and Mrs Clause are really there and have kind things to say to all. Nice North Pole gift shop and lots of sweets. Yes it is highly commercialized but what did you expect. It's still fun to see.

This is basically a huge store. If you're thinking of going to another attraction, this one could be skipped. They offer kits to have Santa send a letter with extras to the kids but I bet it can be ordered without driving out. Reindeer Academy was closed for the winter (3/2022) but it's still basically a little place there kids can say they saw Santa's Reindeer and met Santa at the North Pole (make sure Santa isn't taking a day off).

Very "cool" 😉 to have visited the Santa Claus House in North Pole Alaska! Santa wasn't there when we visited, but you can find his days & hours on their website and get photos with him. Lots of great gift & souvenir options inside along with a food/drink station towards the far right side of the main entrance!
