Join us on a magical adventure to Santa’s Grotto where you can meet the great man himself and some of his trusty elves!
As you step through the twinkling entrance with your mixed group of other girls and boys eagerly awaiting to meet Santa Claus, you’ll find yourself in the one and only Santa’s Toy Shop. Oh, how marvellous it is! You’ll see toys of all shapes and sizes and those little rascal elves, all hard at work, getting everything ready for Santa’s big night!
The elves will be super eager to guide you through the festive trail, leading you all the way to Santa’s very own Grotto to hear all about your wishes and dreams for Christmas day! Santa will warmly welcome each of you, offering a precious photo to cherish forever, as well as a wonderful moment of story time, and rest assured, he has a special gift for everyone.
Oh, but be on the lookout! Santa’s playful naughty elf might make an appearance during your visit, adding a touch of excitement to the experience!
