Tips & Advice

  • Book ahead because most dates sell out, and any tickets available on the day are limited and first come, first served.
  • Arrive at the sleigh station 15 minutes before your booked departure; missed slots may have no later space available on busy days.
  • Wear warm, waterproof clothing and footwear because this is an outdoor event that operates in all weather.
  • Allow four to five hours to complete the experience, and remember that ice skating requires a separate ticket.
  • If using a wheelchair, note that some spaces are tight; show a blue badge to parking attendants for directions to disabled parking.

Special Events & Promotions

  • Babies under 1 who do not need a gift can attend free without a ticket.
  • Group discounts are available for schools and associations.
  • Ice skating is sold separately from the Santa Experience ticket.
  • The Mother Christmas ticket is a separate option for families not visiting Father Christmas; it excludes the sleigh ride and ice skating.
  • Under-1 tickets do not include the make-a-bear/toy shop; an age-appropriate gift is included, and a ticket is not required if no gift is wanted.

What activities are included in the Santa Experience?

Activities include a sleigh ride and story with Father Christmas, a gift, gingerbread decorating, reindeer food making, circus performances, a 3D cinema and an elf hunt. Ice skating is separate.

How does the booked time work, and how long should I allow?

The booked slot is for the sleigh departure, not arrival. Arrive at the sleigh station 15 minutes beforehand and allow four to five hours for the full experience.

Is the experience wheelchair accessible, and are dogs allowed?

The sleigh ride has ramps at both ends and many activities are wheelchair friendly, though some spaces are tight. Only guide dogs are permitted in the park and tea room.
