    We are offering a discount of £4.00 per person for visits on 30th November and then from 6th December to 4th January 2026, please use code CHRISTMAS25 at the online checkout or at reception when you arrive. And remember if you go into the Park and JungleBarn, you can then buy great value winter Return Tickets for just £6pp valid for another visit before the 27th March 2025.

    And while enjoying the Park and JungleBarn, try the Christmas Cracker Quiz and claim your special chocolate reward from 'Nicolas' and 'Walter'!

    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).
