Santa’s Enchanted Forest won’t open for 2024

After 40 years, the annual Miami tradition that is Santa's Enchanted Forest will not be returning for 2024. The attraction announced its closing on Instagram.

Santa's Enchanted Forest will be closed for the 2024 season as we reflect on four magical decades of cherished memories and plans for the future. As a beloved South Florida tradition, we have been honored to be part of countless family celebrations, filling the air with twinkling lights, laughter, and holiday spirit.

While we won't be welcoming visitors this year, we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to you for being an integral part of our journey. Your support has been the true magic behind our story. As you celebrate the holidays this season, we hope you’ll carry with you the warmth of the memories we've created together. Wishing you and your loved ones abundant joy, love, and the special wonder that this time of year brings.
