Santa's Village in Dundee, IL (outside Chicago). Awesome, Charming Family Amusement Park!

July 16, 2024: This park is so well-done, well-themed, with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. It may seem like it's a kids' park, but there is plenty of fun to be had here, even if you don't have kids with you. It's located on the outskirts of the Chicago metro area, on the west-northwest side. It is a solid hour away from Six Flags Great America, but it can easily be paired with it on a day. I started my day here, then went back to Six Flags, and had plenty of time at both parks. This park has 3 roller coasters, a small waterpark, several flat rides, and a couple very well-themed rides. It's well worth checking out when you're in the area. This place is not only about picking up coaster credits.
