Tips & Advice
- Book early for your preferred date, because a number of dates sold out in advance last year and the trail is bigger for 2026.
- Book before 1 November so free marshmallow toasting is included with every ticket in your group, ready for the fire pits along the trail.
- Leave at least 30 minutes before or up to an hour after your trail slot for a Santa visit, so the two bookings don't clash.
- Arrive ahead of your allocated trail time to enjoy the rides and food outlets first, because your timeslot only sets when you enter the trail.
- Dress warmly for an evening outdoors, because the trail winds through the woods of the Foot Safari after dark.
