How much is the ticket for the first day of santa's enchanted forest?
I was told the first day was only a dollar, but im not sure and if it is how much is the amount you have to pay later on for the rides or is it free?? Please help!! Im planning to go tomorrow. And how about on friday?
They have a website... www.santasenchantedforest.com
Once you pay at the entrance all the rides are free. They also have season pass, which is a good deal if you go at least twice during the 2 month period. I don't know about the $1.00 entrance price for the first day. You could call and find out I guess. If you purchase the season pass before opening day it's a 30% price discount. Children 2 and under are free.
Here's their park info from their website.

3 Steps Towards Starting a Day Care or Any Child Care Service
So, you think you’d like to start a day care or some form of child care service but where to start? Let’s assume you know nothing about the child care industry except that it involves children!!! That’s pretty much the position I was in when I started my day care 10 years ago and I spent a year and a half researching and learning within the child care world including day care centers and home day cares before I got going. Before you go running for the hills in dismay allow me to cut short the research time a little with some pointers on how best to prepare for the exciting adventure that is ‘Starting a daycare business’.
Every successful venture starts with a well thought out business plan thus enabling the entrepreneur (you) to get a clear, overall picture of what your child care business will entail. This is the vital, unavoidable first step if you are to have any chance of understanding what it takes for your day care idea to succeed. Many people get to the business plan stage of their day care and no further due to a realisation that a child care project is
unfeasible for whatever reason. So, use your day care business plan as the first step in your research to figure out if your child care business will be viable.
Introduction/description,benefits, market research, key financials and conclusion. These are the vital elements of starting any business and are covered by your day care business plan. I found it to be a great ‘checklist’ of things to do towards starting my child care business as I worked my way methodically through each of the required steps. Areas I might have omitted or glossed over were covered leaving me with thorough and accurate vision of my day care business. Like a good teacher it provided the questions and ensured I filled in the blanks. Business plan templates abound but here a few that I quite like.

Next, talk to the day care experts. Arrange a meeting with your local child care licensing representative, have them visit your potential day care premises and find out what they will be requiring in terms of premises layout, contents, child care play area and general day care health and safety issues. Get them to give you guidelines and tips on day care policies and child care business paperwork. Don’t be afraid to ask
questions – remember this is the child care expert, the person who will be granting you a day care license so best to have a heads up on what they will expect from you. Prepare in advance of this meeting and come armed with a list of comprehensive questions so you don’t waste a great opportunity to absorb as much child care knowledge as possible.
When I was researching my day care business I received some of the best tips, hints and advice from other child care providers, in fact, I still make ‘day care information gathering visits’ once a year and learn something new everytime from my child care counterparts. Existing daycare owners are an invaluable resource for practical child care advice. Call up a couple of established day care providers (preferably not too close to your proposed child care venture – they might not be too enamoured of the impending competition!), explain your situation, desire to start a child care service and set up a day to go visit. People are usually delighted to help aspiring entrepreneurs and love discussing their own day care business. There is nothing quitelike the advice of people who are on the ground, operating successful daycares and doing the day to day child care business.
Bring a clipboard and pen so you can jot down child care related notes and ideas before they vacate your head (as they do mine). Ask questions of the day care workers, listen and observe. Notice daily child care routines, day care room layout and child care equipment, methods for dealing with behaviours, day care staff and child interaction, health and safety procedures, day care hygiene practices, peruse child care paperwork (ask for copies of the paperwork to help guide you when formulating your own day care versions). Find about the best methods of advertising, what suppliers you should use for day care products and the range of child care fees locally. Try to speak with the day care owner or manager, the child care staff and the cook and get a
feel for each unique role. Don't just ask them what they do at the day care but also ask for their opinion on how things could be better. You will gain an immense wealth of practical child care knowledge simply by asking these open questions.
These are just three steps you can take in pursuit of your dream to start a day care business and they will provide you with a tremendous amount of information and guidance on all things child care. Your confidence in yourself and your ability to achieve your day care vision will peak and you will be propelled into further positive action towards your child care service. It costs nothing but time and if you can get yourself to this point there’s no looking back. What are you waiting for? Your day care business awaits.
