Santa Claus' Main Post Office

The building features natural stone walls and pine wood interior, with a distinguishing red post box at the entrance for Christmas mail collection.

Eleanor Roosevelt inaugurated this postal facility in 1950 by sending the first letter with a special Arctic Circle stamp on November 6.

Santa's postal elves manage correspondence from 198 countries, processing over 30,000 letters daily during peak holiday seasons from children worldwide.

The post office maintains varied seasonal hours, operating from 9:00 to 20:00 in December and offering standard postal services throughout the year.

Every piece of mail receives an exclusive Arctic Circle postmark, making it the single official facility authorized to use this specialized postal marking.
