Santa's Castle

Santa's Castle is a 60-year tradition in Storm Lake, Iowa's Christmas City. The Castle, a former Carnegie Library listed on the National Register of Historic Places, is home to one of the world's largest collections of antique holiday animation. These moving characters once populated large department store show windows, dating back to the 1920s. Stroll through many scenes and surprises, check out the massive model railroads, visit our unique Christmas gift shop, and be sure to visit Santa himself, for an autographed book from the holiday hero. Open from Thanksgiving through the end of December.
