Visit us for your chance to write a letter to Santa! But hurry — the North Pole is a long way away, and it takes time to get there. Drop your letter in one of the holiday mailboxes by December 14, and we’ll make sure it gets to the North Pole for Santa to mail a response to your home in time for Christmas. Find the letters and holiday mailboxes at French Lick Springs Hotel, West Baden Springs Hotel and the Activities Center.
