You’ll receive a warm welcome from the elves before you take part in our North Pole adventure. Children will get to experience snowy scenes, ice fish with the penguins, help the polar bears improve their ice hockey skills, shoot some snowball hoops and see where Santa’s reindeer live, all before getting the chance to meet Santa himself.

Event highlights:
• Magical adventure: our elves have been working hard to create a theatrical experience for your little ones involving ice sport games and a reindeer stable where you can make your own reindeer food. Please note there are no real reindeers involved in the experience.
• Fun activities: ice fishing, snowball shootout, reindeer food making and more.
• Meet Santa: individual time with Santa where your children can share their Christmas wishes.
• Photo opportunities: capture the moment with a professional printed photo with Santa with reduced rates at time of booking.
• Gift from Santa: every child will receive a wrapped gift suitable for their age range.

Ho Ho hope to see you there!
