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.
