If you are looking for an extra special activity this holiday season, taking a cruise to the North Pole is the definition of holiday magic. In Coeur d’Alene, Idaho you and your family can take a forty minute cruise touring a massive holiday light show that culminates with a stop at Santa’s Workshop. Before boarding, some of Santa’s helpers will discreetly collect your children’s names and read them off the “nice list” before your boat sets sail back to dry land.

Kids 5 and under ride free, but be forewarned, the tickets sell out QUICKLY. There are still some reservations left between now and January 1st though, so if you are interested in starting a new holiday tradition, visit their website HERE to book now.

Pro Tip: If you want to make a weekend out of it, why not stay a little further north of Coeur d’Alene and spend one day at Triple Play Family Fun Park in Hayden, Idaho? Your kids will thank you.
