Great day in the warm of the cave
With temperatures outside arround -9C we were glad to be inside. There is a cloakroom to leave your outdoor kit before you go into the underground area. There is lots to see and do appart from seeing Santa. An great elf show is on several times durring the day next to the refreshment area. There is a train ride through the elves workshops which is magical (our grandaughter went on it twice) you can make your own elf in the cradft area as well as decorating ginger biscuits. The visit to Santa was very good not at all rushed and you can take as many photo as you like. Santa even had time to open her letter and read it before 'filing' it for later. There is a post office and lots of shops to look at and a play area for the children as well. Enjoyed by all but we did go early in the season and we are told it gets very crowded later with long waits.

Santa Park is a "Must Do"
We spent about 4.5 hrs at Santa Park and loved every minute of it. The kids had so much to see and do. We must have done the train ride 4 times as we loved it so much. There were lots of craft activities for the kids to do. Elf school was brilliant. The show was incredible. Santa was worth waiting for (our queue time was about 30 mins in peak time). Even us parents (the big kids) had lots of fun. Highly recommend visiting Santa Park.

Loved Santa Park!!
We went on Christmas eve and absolutely loved it!!! it's nice that it is inside...The staff was super friendly, go early and buy tickets ahead of time, it does get very crowded during the holiday season! Santa was great and you can take as many of your own pictures as you want. Got to make Christmas cookies with the elves, go on a train ride through the park, go to elf school which was super cute! The staff is totally in character and seem genuinely happy to be there.

Meeting with Santa Claus and his elves
Very special place for all people, not only children and children at heart. There you can visit Santa Claus in his office, take a magic train ride, see Santa's elves and their shows on stage, visit really amazing ice gallery, gingerbread room and eat in a restaurant. I had a nice conversation with Santa Claus in his office. SantaPark is surely a good place to make some lifelong memories.
