The park sits inside a neighborhood setting with lots of trees for shade and plenty of free parking. I immediately noticed the size of the play area-it’s HUGE! The play area is also gated, which is super nice for those of us with […]

The tours start at 10:30am and I had to call the day before to reserve a spot. They are completely free and it was very enjoyable. I did spend about […]

When I was given the opportunity to register I […]

There are a limited number of places to stay in Santa Claus, IN, but we could not have been happier with our choice, Santa’s Cottages. Just two miles down the […]

Disney’s movie, PLANES is a spin-off from the hit CARS and is sure to be a family favorite. I took my son, 4 and his friend, 8 to the Stonybrook theaters and they both enjoyed the show.
