SantaLand is a magical world which winds through the second floor of the Hellmuth Gallery in the Heritage Center.

Familiar sights from around Springfield like the Westcott House, the Bushnell Mansion, Snyder Park, the Kuss Auditorium, and the Hospital are replicated in this miniaturized world where life-like friends frolic in the snow, ice skate, decorate and dance.

SantaLand will be open for visits with Santa on Saturdays, Dec. 9 and 16, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. SantaLand is also open for walking through during normal Heritage Center hours Tuesday-Saturday.
