Wind through the scenic adventure as Santa takes you on an exciting journey in a convenient, comfortable drive-thru setting! While you're there, you can stop at Santa's Workshop, which was designed by Classic By Design and built by Dillard-Jones Builders. On Fridays and Saturdays, you will see Santa. You can go ice skating at the Outdoor Ice Skating Rink presented by the Greenville Road Warriors ($5 skate rentals, open Fridays and Saturdays only).
