Santa from
SANTA'S VILLAGE

Associated with Santa’s Village theme park in Dundee, IL for over twenty years, Phillip L. Wenz became one of the very few year round Santa Clauses,  appearing at the park and at special events over 200 days a year.  With Santa’s Village, Phillip appeares in commercials, on billboards, in brochures and on television.  Just as his predecessors, being the Santa from Santa’s Village is a full time job.

Most of Santa's time was spent in Santa's House.  For 46 years Santa's House had been home to jolly old St. Nick!  This storybook cottage has been host to hundreds of thousands of children that spend that magical moment with Santa Claus.  Filled with antiques, set near the center of the park, the house was a nostalgic example of old-time Christmas spirit and hospitality.

When venturing up to Santa’s House, one can see and touch the frozen North Pole right outside the front door. The “Pole” stays icy even on the hottest summer days. At the front door a giant key unlocks the secrets of the home to visitors. Inside you can see Santa’s sleigh loaded with Christmas goodies, a beautiful tree that stays up all year long and the huge cobblestone fireplace that warms the home on those “cold winter nights”. Children can sit at Santa’s desk and sign his Good Book. Twinkle lights, decorations, and wrapped packages adorn the rafters.

Imagine the look on a child’s face when he or she came into this house of real make-believe! Santa talked and visited with everyone just as he has since the “Village” opened in 1959. Santa’s House was the home of all that makes childhood fantasy a magical memory for children of all ages.
