misfish Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 Here my problem with this. In two weeks were taking the grankids up to the cottage(well mudder and pops,it,s a cottage to us.LOL) and were going to stop into santas village. It,s going to cost just over 100 bucks to get in ++++. Thats unreal IMO. Whats so great about this place? Is santa going broke or something? Maybe he runs a gas sled now. Crazy entrance fee if you ask me. For those that have been,please tell me my money wont be ill spent.
Terry Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 welcome to the 21 first century yeah that's a lot of money but wait a few years and see how small your wallet gets when they want you to take them paintballing
BillM Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 Brian, here are some coupons to help you out. http://www.attractionsontario.ca/index.cfm?DSP=Chapter&ID=11&ACT=Coupon-Info&Coupon_ID=53&Member_ID=1138
misfish Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 Thanks Bill. Just printed it off. Terry ,I hear ya. Looking forward to it though.Wonder if the young lad would like golf? How much will a box of worms cost 10 years from now?
bushart Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 I heard santa been losin a bit at the casino lately so had to up the fees
Terry Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 well you would be mean and charge a lot too if you only came once a year I'm just saying
fishing n autograph Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 Could be worse, I paid $300 for me, my wife and my 3 yo daughter at the time to get into disneyworld for one day
misfish Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Posted July 3, 2011 I heard the reindeer unionized. Well a 30-06 should solve that problem
Governator Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 We took my my son last summer, but he was only 1 at the time and I don't think we had to pay for his admission, just our own which seemed backwards. It's definitely a good time for the younger kids (Like I'd say under 6) but if they're older they probably won't have as much fun. I think Centreville offers a lot more bang for the same buck if you're in the Toronto area.

Bring your boat B, and make a left at santas Village Then tell the gang your santa with a boat Worked for me 2 years back And they had a blast on the lake
mercman Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 I went and its great. I saw Santa and his wee liitle elves and Rudolph Dont know how much it cost though. Mom and Dad never discussed money matters in front of us kids Just GO!! The kids will remember it for days. You will remember for years Paul
Rob Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 Just to get you in the spirit Brian here ya go Rob C
mercman Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 well you would be mean and charge a lot too if you only came once a year I'm just saying I coined a new word in your Honor Terry. A Terryism. Definition, A profoundly honest, yet wonderfully witty and relevant response to a situation or conversation.
Muskieman Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 if the kids are over 8 years old..not worth the 100.00$ take them to the Muskoka Wildlife centre instead......... just my opinion. Randy
Terry Posted July 3, 2011 Report Posted July 3, 2011 I coined a new word in your Honor Terry. A Terryism. Definition, A profoundly honest, yet wonderfully witty and relevant response to a situation or conversation. LOL
Rizzo Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 Funny you'd post this Brian, we were considering it recently. We had plans to bring our 4 boys there this summer rather than Centreville where we've gone in the past. When we saw the pricing we decided we'd do Centreville again! They have some good family deals so for us parking/ferry/ride passes were still cheaper than Santa's Village...but I will have a look at the coupons Bill posted and maybe reconsider
Rizzo Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 ...so just had a look at the coupon. Family of 4 you'll be just over $100 to get in. The cost of entertainment I guess. It could be worse though Brian, you could have 4 kids to pay for like I do! Looks like I'll be approx 150.00 even with the coupon
vance Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 I was there 27 years ago with the wife and kid and it nearly broke me then,just goes to show you things haven't changed.Forget the scenic pontoon boat cruise,it doesn't go anywhere. vance
Familyfisherman Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 We've been 5 times. It is a complete waste of money if the kids are older than 5 -- between 2-5 it's ok, but expensive. The sports area has some go carts that are fun, but they cost even more money...I have 4 kids that are now 10, 8, 5 and 3, and we took our last trip there last year, just isn't worth it now that we have Wonderland passes.
Roy Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 But does Santa really spend his summers there? Are they hiring elves or dwarves these days?
bigugli Posted July 4, 2011 Report Posted July 4, 2011 Santa's village is for the pretend Santa. Everyone knows his true summer home is in Rovaniemi on the Artic circle Where else do you think he learnt to ride and tame reindeer? Right Dr Sal?

Yep, lots of bucks to go somewhere you really don't want to go to in the first place...take them fishing instead, if they get bored toss them into the lake, if they can swim that is. Cannot get over the admission fees to any park these days. And then as an added slap in the puss most charge your car a fee to enter too! And your car never even asked to go in the first place!

bigbuck Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 For younger kids,8 and under, it's a great spot. All the rides don't have a height restriction on them and the kids will have fun so in that sense, it is worth it.
