The North Pole is the place of many children's dreams. There are family-friendly Christmas movies about it. It's filled with magic, Santa Claus, snow, and of course, lots of toys. The North Pole in Alaska, however, is not that place. Most Alaskans would agree that it's the worst attraction in the state.
Located in Fairbanks, Alaska, the North Pole is a Christmas-themed village that is a surefire tourist trap. It features a Santa Claus House, which is actually just a gift shop. Buildings, streetlights, and street names are all Christmas themed as well. The local USPS gets hundreds of thousands of letters for Santa every year. Sometimes the community even responds. So, send your letters there, but don't bother visiting. Bah humbug, indeed!
