Santa Claus' House

Christmas lovers will likely know of and consider visiting the Santa Claus house in Alaska's North Pole. First opened in 1952, the attraction is all things Christmas, with reindeer, a massive Santa Claus statue, and the chance to get photos with Mr and Mrs Claus themselves. While that might be exciting, you have to ask yourself: Why are you going to the middle of nowhere to visit what is essentially a Christmas-themed gift shop?

There is nothing at the Alaskan Santa Claus house that you wouldn't be able to find at other similar attractions. The out-of-the-way nature also doesn't do it any favors, especially when you consider the price tag for entry.
