Tips & Advice
- Book well ahead, as grotto tickets sell out very quickly, though any tickets left on the day can be bought at the till or online.
- Arrive five minutes before your slot with your email confirmation ready, because sessions run to a strict schedule and late entry isn't guaranteed.
- Leave prams and buggies in the car, since there is no room for them inside and no covered storage outside the grotto.
- Wear comfortable shoes and layers, as the whole experience is indoors and there's nowhere to store coats or bags along the way.
- Carers should book online first, then email their booking reference and carer documents to the events team so the carer fee can be refunded.

Frequently Asked Questions
What happens during the grotto experience?
You ride a VR train from Milton Keynes to the North Pole. There you meet Reindeer Ronnie in the stables and mix up a bag of reindeer food, then share Christmas wishes with Santa in his living room. Next, children choose a keepsake gift in the Toy Workshop and finish by decorating a gingerbread house biscuit with sweets and icing in Mrs Christmas' Kitchen.
Does the train move, and do we wear headsets?
The train doesn't go anywhere and no headsets are needed. It gently rocks like a real train carriage to match the story on the screens. Staff are on hand if you need to leave for any reason.
Can I bring a buggy?
No. There's no space for prams and buggies inside and no covered storage outside, so leave them in your car.
Does everyone need a ticket?
Yes, every adult, child and baby needs a ticket. Babies under 12 months need a baby ticket, which can't be bought on its own. If your only child is under 12 months, buy a family ticket.
