Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 15 minutes before your Santa slot to check in and collect your passport, because if you're late another slot can't be guaranteed.
- Wrap up warm and wear suitable footwear, since you'll be outdoors on a farm even though the activities are undercover or inside.
- Make a full day of it, because your ticket covers everything across the Adventure Farm from opening until closing, not just your Santa visit.
- Check the Grinch meet-and-greet timetable when you arrive, as he appears every half hour through the day with breaks in between.
- Add the Build-a-Teddy Workshop at checkout to secure your place, since booking it on the day depends on availability.
