If you live in Miami but haven’t been to Santa’s Enchanted Forest (7900 Bird Rd., Miami), have you really even lived? It’s the magical land of light and wonder that burned itself irrevocably into the retina of our youth. There’s that song that plays every year on the radio — it’s got “games, food, shows, nativities,” and so much more. It’s pretty much the happiest place on Earth, if someone fancy mouse hadn’t already claimed the title.
Honestly, the holiday theme park is one magical evening all Miamians should experience, especially children. Opening day is this Thursday, and the park closes January 4, 2015.
Stuff your face with carnival food, take in the crazy sights, play some games, visit Santa, enjoy the pig races, and, of course, ride as many free amusements as possible. Children younger than 2 always get in free, and tickets cost $20.56 to $51.40 for single-day passes, regular-season passes, and Early Elf season passes. Be warned: Early Elf deals end Thursday.
