This winter, discover the magic of Santa’s Grotto at Dynamic Earth! Meet Santa in the icy landscapes of the North Pole, gaze up at the shimmering Northern Lights, and explore the snowy realm he shares with Arctic foxes, polar bears, snowy owls and Arctic hares. Then, settle in for a storytelling session where festive folklore meets the frozen frontier in Santa’s Grotto.
