Tips & Advice
- Book your tickets well in advance, especially for popular time slots, as they go on sale in May and tend to sell out quickly.
- Arrive a little before your booked time slot to allow for parking and finding the entrance to the first activity, the train to the North Pole.
- Dress warmly in layers, as parts of the experience may be outdoors or in unheated farm buildings, even with the festive theme.
- Take advantage of the 'choose your own toy' option from Santa's Toy Shop to ensure your child gets a gift they'll truly love.
- Don't forget to bring your camera for capturing magical moments, especially during the Santa visit and the train ride.
