It amazes me every year as a thread like this pops up on this website followed by the same group of haters.
More and more people from all over Texas and the world travel to Santa's Wonderland (and College Station) each and every year, but some locals want to complain because they can no longer drive thru for 20 bucks a car load.
Santa's Wonderland hires thousands of people each year, bring hundreds of thousands of new visitors to town that spend money in our businesses, support dozens of local charities, yet it still isn't good enough.
How about we just celebrate the massive success of this long-time local business that has done more to put College Station on the map than anything other than Texas A&M.
Thank you Santa's Wonderland.

The Texas Renaissance Festival is a short drive north of Houston and does well too. It's really not surprising we have visitor numbers like that here for a seasonal attraction. I really don't understand the disdain and skepticism for it. Their success is a good thing for BCS.
we need a riverboat casino on lake bryan....
15 million in ticket sales and a 13k tax write off ?
The American dream come true. Problem? Initiative, risk, capitalism and entrepreneurship in its purest form
Hats off to them.
Hats off to them.
No problem at all
They have done a great job of commercializing Christmas while making you wait hours to spend even more money. Some people call that fun but it's just not my cup of tea to pay $50 a person to go wait in line, and then pay more to wait less in line while surrounded by 6-8,000 people. To each there own

I've been to several Christmas parks in the US and they cost just as much. Many are open year round as well. I'm curious what this place has.
You think that's bad, buy some Aggie football tickets.JP76 said:

Is that Irish pub on the other side of 6 part of it?
It is. They actually run a shuttle from that lot if you want to save $ on parking.
Starting Thanksgiving weekend it gets crazy busy, but we did go Christmas night one year and it was honestly the best experience we've ever had out there.
We go Christmas eve every year, family tradition now

Impressive, thanks! I wonder how they are counting that. Just visitors through the gate? Online ticket sales data? Either way, lots of people.Captn_Ag05 said:This was from last year and they seem to be growing each year.coleasterling said:I'm not trying to be argumentative, nor do I have anything against SW, but where'd you get the hundreds of thousands visitors number?
