The perfect alternative for your little mischief maker

Step inside the Enchanted Elevator and take a trip to Mr Grinch’s Grotto in style! (included in your visit)

Get ready to meet the one and only Mr Grinch, who has been specially invited by Santa to join in on some Christmas cheer. Beware as he is very naughty!

During your visit, the Grinch will begrudgingly welcome you into his Grotto, offering a moment of story time as well as a special gift from his very own stash! You might even have the chance to bring the Grinch a present – he has a soft spot for onions, so we highly recommend bringing one along if you want to see his nicer side!

(Please note: Each ticket provides admission for 1x child and 1x adult. Tickets are non-refundable and non-transferable)
