Your Winter Wonderland Experience

Your visit will begin with a photo opportunity in Santa’s sleigh (Saturday and Sunday only)   - Santa’s elves will be on hand to take festive photos of your family that capture the magic of the season. From there you will be transported into an enchanting winter wonderland, where every step transports you into a fairy tale land full of wonder and magical excitement. As you and your children wander beneath twinkling lights and through the frosty wonderlands, your children can:

• Post their letters to Father Christmas – his special North Pole post box will be easy to spot
• Discover magical photo opportunities next to the Polar Express, in the North Pole elf village and next to beautiful winter scenes that will ignite your imagination.
• Finally, step inside the glittering winter igloo, where Father Christmas himself will be waiting to greet you.

Cost

£8.00 per child - Parents, guardians and carers go free. Every child receives a small gift from Santa.
