Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before your booked time slot to allow for ticket redemption, wristband collection, and to ensure you don't miss your magical visit with Father Christmas.
- Consider booking online in advance, especially for weekend slots, as time slots can sell out. Annual Pass holders receive discounted entry.
- Take advantage of the included vouchers for Adventure Golf, Sealife Adventure, and Funtopia Arcade games to extend the fun beyond meeting Father Christmas.
- While outdoor rides are not available on Wonderland days, Funtopia Indoor Amusement Park, the soft play area, and The Polar Express Christmas Sleigh ride offer plenty of indoor entertainment.
- If you have a baby under 6 months, they can enter for free with a paying family, though they will not receive the passport with vouchers.
