Santa's Enchanted Forest

You thought you were going to get through the holiday season without the annual pilgrimage to Santa’s Enchanted Forest? Nice try, Scrooge. Round up your little elves and head to Tropical Park (7900 Bird Rd., Miami) for Miami’s only Christmas-themed amusement park. Keep them entertained with over 100 rides, shows and games. Let them gaze in awe at the huge Christmas tree and the incredible light displays. Fill their bellies with fried foods from around the world. That’s the spirit!

The park opens after 5:30 p.m. nightly, including Christmas. Tickets are $17.76-$25.69, plus tax at www.santasenchantedforestcom. Kids under 2 are free.
