Santa's Village Azoosment Park Keeps the Fun Going through October with its Third Annual Autumn Harvest Fest

Though the summer is winding down, Santa’s Village Azoosment Park is still going strong into the fall. Starting in September, the park will begin its annual Autumn Harvest Fest days.  Open Weekends & Columbus Day, Sept. 28 through Oct. 27, Harvest Fest offers fun for families looking to perk up their weekends with a seasonal celebration.  Harvest Fest provides guests with all the summer magic that Santa’s Village Azoosment Park has to offer, but with an exciting fall twist in the air.

In the spirit of the season, the park will be decorated with pumpkins and autumn colors.  Enjoy new additions such as a straw maze, magic shows and your favorite fall treats like chili, caramel apples, specialty funnel cakes, pies and beverages. As the season comes to a close, celebrate Halloween at the park on October 26 and 27 with trick-or-treating and a costume contest from 2 p.m. -3 p.m. both days.  Regular park admission fees apply.

Is your group looking for something fun and educational to do this fall?  Instead of settling for the typical trip to the pumpkin patch, book an outing with Santa’s Village Azoosment Park.  Great for grades K- 6, Libraries, Park Districts and Day Camps, a group of 20 or more can enjoy a specially discounted rate for only $9.50 per person with 1 FREE chaperone.  A group trip to the park includes live animal encounters, rides and a souvenir for each child. Outings run from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the following dates are still available: October 3, 4, 10, & 11. To book your group call 847-426-6751.
