Santa's Village was a Christmas-themed amusement park located in Scotts Valley, California, United States.History and attractionsIn 1956 the Lawridge dairy farm, alongside Highway 17 in Scotts Valley, was leased to southern California developer Glenn Holland. He had already developed Santa's Village in 1955, in San Bernardino County, and would later build a third in East Dundee, Illinois, becoming Santa's Village AZoosment Park.The grand opening was May 30, 1957, with Danish native Carl Hansen in the role of Santa Claus. The main rides were a bobsled, a spinning Christmas tree and Santa's Express train. There was also a petting zoo, a huge Jack-in-the-Box and equally large Santa's boot, and an Alice in Wonderland hall of mirrors.In August 1966, Holland sold to developer Noorudin Billawalla. In 1977, the Santa's Village Corporation filed for bankruptcy, and in 1979 the park closed for good. In 1990 Borland International purchased the land as their world headquarters. The park had its own freeway exit off Highway 17, and as of 2017, the freeway exit signs still read "Santa's Village Road".
