Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets online before the day, because no tickets are sold on arrival and every child must come with a paying adult.
- Arrive 15 minutes before your booked entry time so you can check in and start your journey through the Christmas Experience on schedule.
- Choose an early morning session if your child has additional needs, since those can be quieter, and ask ahead for image cards and descriptions.
- Dress for the Scottish weather and wear sturdy footwear, because the experience is part outdoors, runs in all weathers and some surfaces are uneven.
- Bring payment for extras like the funfair, Santa photo and teddy outfits, since these aren't included in the Christmas Experience ticket.
