Santa and his assistants are very popular and do not like to rush things, so will spend several minutes with each family. We keep to our booking slots as much as possible, but you may have to wait for your turn. You are welcome to sit in the Christmas area outside the grotto, pose for photos in Santa’s sleigh, and use the gift shop and cafe areas while waiting, or if you have booked the Park and JungleBarn, we will call you over the speaker system. Thank you for your understanding and rest assured when it is your turn your family will also enjoy the same quality time with Santa.
To top it all off why not enjoy something delicious, perhaps a hot chocolate with marshmallow topping, turkey and cranberry panini or other tasty treats in the Otter Pool Café, open from 10am to 2:45pm (last hot food order 2pm).
