Listed Under Christmas Events / Family and Kids Events / Days Out Events

Dates: 29-30 Nov & 6-7, 13-14, 20-21, 23-24 Dec

Conifox Adventure Park is thrilled to announce the return of its signature event, Edinburgh’s Ultimate Christmas Experience. This year marks a sensational upgrade: the entire experience moves into a brand-new building, featuring expanded sets, Christmas characters, and heart-warming festive fun for the whole family.

Step into the Cosy Christmas Living Room to meet Santa himself and capture a magical family photo. Every child will also receive a Golden Christmas Coin to exchange for a special gift or a cuddly friend at the Make-a-Teddy Factory.

Back by popular demand is cookie decorating with Mrs Claus, and don’t forget to check your Naughty or Nice status before setting off on a journey through the enchanting Magic Forest. This year, get ready for an exciting Snowball Fight with Buddy the Elf and Friends, write your letter to Santa in the North Pole Post Room, join in at Reindeer Flying School and Elf School, and watch out for the mischievous Mr Grinch causing festive chaos! End your visit with delicious festive food and drinks, plus fun at Taylor’s of Edinburgh Christmas Funfair.

Running on selected dates throughout December, with entry times at 15-minute intervals.
There’s no need to book Santa separately — your time with him is included in your Christmas Experience ticket. We do recommend arriving 15 minutes before your booked session to ensure smooth entry.

Please allow a minimum of 1 hour 45 minutes to enjoy the full experience, and even longer to take in the extra festivities until our gates close. Ticket prices vary depending on the date selected.

Visit to Santa Claus (included in your ticket, no separate booking required)
