Did you know that if you address a letter to Santa Claus at North Pole, Alaska, it really gets delivered to the city of North Pole? Some letters even get responses written by "Santa's elves" - volunteers who write letters back to children.
Santa Claus house in North Pole, a gift shop, also sells letters. Those are guaranteed to get a response.
Its a great place to get your kids picture done with Santa. The Santas there usually have a real white beard. The toy shop has lots of nice ornaments and nativity sets. There is a little coffee stand serving locally roasted coffee.
There are also plenty of the cheesier touristy gifts that are available in roadside gift shops all over the state. I guess they are trying to have items in each price range, and cater to a wide variety guests and tourists.
