Santa Claus traded snowflakes for warmth and palm trees during a surprise visit to South Florida for the unveiling of a new Christmas attraction.
At Amelia Earhart Park, Ripley’s Believe It or Not! laid the cornerstone of its long-awaited Christmas Park, a project that promises to transform the heart of Hialeah into a tropical winter world.
The event marked the official opening of this one-of-a-kind holiday theme park, which will combine the best of the festive spirit with the charm and warmth of South Florida.
During the ceremony, Santa Claus arrived directly from the North Pole to give his approval to the space, which promises attractions for all ages, live shows, Christmas tours, and all kinds of attractions.
Ripley’s Christmas Park will open on Nov. 13 at Amelia Earhart Park, located at 401 E. 65th St. and is expected to attract thousands of local and tourist visitors.
