Santa’s Toy Mine
Join our toy miners on a journey bursting with festive wonder and excitement.
Follow your toy miner guide deep into Santa’s Toy Mine, where you’ll meet more merry miners and uncover magical surprises around every corner. But when you reach Santa’s Grotto, the big question remains… is he in?
What’s included:
• A magical illuminated adventure through Santa’s Toy Mine
• A visit to Santa’s Grotto
• Each child will receive a special magic bell from Santa himself, before heading to the Toy Shop to exchange if for a gift straight from the elves’ workshop.
• Capture the Magic - Strike your best festive pose for a festive family photo with Santa! Photos can be pre-purchased or bought on the day, with a variety of print options available.
Please Note: Tours are made up of multiple parties, so your visit to Santa’s Grotto will be shared with other guests on the hunt for Santa!
Story Time with Santa
Join one of our Toy Miners and Santa himself for a cosy storytelling session filled with Christmas cheer. Sessions are available in both Welsh and English. Quieter ALN sessions with reduced numbers and a calmer atmosphere are also available.
What’s Included:
• A cozy visit to Santa’s Grotto
A delightful Christmas story narrated by a Toy Miner.
A magic bell gifted to each child to be exchanged at the toy shop.
A trip to the Toy Shop, where children can choose their very own present straight from the elves’ workshop.
