A Visit to Santa

Welcome to North Pole, Alaska – where the spirit of Christmas lives year ‘round!

North Pole is a growing community that captures the imaginations of visitors to Alaska.  Driving through North Pole in any season you will notice Christmas decorations, street names, and light poles that reflect their motto.  

No visit to North Pole would be complete without a stop at the Santa Claus House.  This world famous attraction houses unique gifts sure to please family and friends back home.  Their is also a variety of restaurants sure to satisfy any palate.

Prior to Christmas each year, the USPS post office in North Pole receives hundreds of thousands of letters to Santa Claus, and thousands more from people wanting the town's postmark on their Christmas greeting cards to their families. It advertises the ZIP code 99705 as the ZIP code of Santa.

Christmas-themed streets in North Pole include Santa Claus Lane, St. Nicholas Drive, Snowman Lane, and Kris Kringle Drive. Street lights in the city are decorated in a candy cane motif, and many local businesses have similar decorations. The city's firetrucks and ambulances are all red, while the police cars are green and white.

Christmas Eve. The sharp, pungent scent of pine. The reflection of twinkling, colored lights in every window and mirror. The scent of gingerbread. Stockings carefully hung. Milk and cookies left for Santa. The joyful anticipation of unknown treasures when morning finally arrived. The temptation to stay up into the wee hours of the night, to catch a glimpse of Santa’s cherry red coat or team of magical reindeer.

No one experiences the sheer, unadulterated joy of the Christmas spirit like a child. Unencumbered by adult concerns, children can feel the miracle of the holiday, absorbing traditions and memories that will last a lifetime.

And remember, Santa knows who’s been naughty or nice!
