SANTA SAFARI
Join us from 22nd Nov – 24th Dec for a magical festive day out for the whole family, combining a four-mile winter Safari and a visit to Santa in his Grotto…
With an allocated time to see Santa, you will be greeted in the Discovery Trail by one of his helpful Elves who will magically transport you to the North Pole. There you will encounter some delightful characters and be dazzled by the northern lights.
NEW: ENCHANTED ELEVATOR
New for this year is Santa's Enchanted Elevator - a magical journey transporting you to the heart of the North Pole. As soon as the doors close, the elevator comes to life and you will travel up, up and away on a fantastical flight across snowy landscapes and festive scenes. Finally you will arrive at Santa's Grotto, so all that's left to do is ring the magical doorbell and meet the big man himself.
SANTA'S GROTTO
Santa’s Grotto is a wonderfully decorated log cabin with its own Christmas tree, festive fireplace and of course Santa! You can tell him what’s on the top of your Christmas wish list and a friendly Elf will take a picture of you together!
ELVES' WORKSHOP
After meeting Santa, you will make your way to the Elves’ Workshop where you can collect your photo and children can pick their own present. With a wide selection of gifts to choose from, they will be spoiled for choice!
