This year our Christmas Spectacular 2024 at Sundown Adventureland opens on 16th November and runs until 4pm on Christmas Eve, the 24th of December.
So let's have a look around this year's Christmas Spectacular...
Our favourite event of the year will always be the opening of the beautiful ‘Night before Christmas’ ride. It sets the scene for the whole Christmas event and leads the guests into Santa's Grotto.
But hold up there's more to do before you get there on your visit. When it's your time to meet Santa himself, you make your way to the huge, warm, purpose-built Four Seasons Arena. We have laid on all sorts of entertainment to keep the kids happy and a cafe to grab a drink and a few tasty snacks. You then climb aboard one of Santa’s sleighs and take a magical journey through the enchanted forest to arrive in style at Santa's Magical Grotto.
The Four Seasons Arena is transformed to take you back to a traditional time with beautiful festive lights. If you're looking for something hot and delicious, there are hot dogs, Nacho’s, and tasty slices of pizza, freshly made crepes or a mince pie amongst other sweet treats. If we are lucky enough to get a cold, crisp Christmassy day it’ll warm you through and help you keep going for more fun with the kids.
Christmas at Sundown is always months in the planning and weeks in the building. As soon as Halloween ends, we're building up for Christmas. It's our biggest event of the year and one we all love as a team. For many of our guests, it's become an annual tradition to visit us as a marker to start their own Christmas celebrations. It's the same for us too. Christmas isn't Christmas until you've had a Sundown Christmas.
At the end of your magical Night Before Christmas ride, you’ll be greeted by the elves and the super happy-smiley Mrs Claus - but then she is married to Santa so she's going to be pretty happy isn't she! When it’s your time, you’ll be invited to meet the big man himself, where the children will receive an individually wrapped present and the chance to share their wishes with him.
During Christmas Spectacular Weekends, which start on 16th November, Sundown Adventureland’s family of elves will be decking the halls of the Christmassy Four Seasons Arena, which will give children the chance to meet the friendly elves too. Children can also watch and join in with live entertainment of dancing characters and fabulous and ever-popular entertainers Andy and Lewis.
But meeting Santa is only half the fun as you still have a whole, great big park to explore. 50 acres of fun rides, attractions and play areas covered with hundreds and thousands of twinkling lights and some of the BIGGEST Christmas trees you will ever see!
If it's cold, wet or both, the mega huge Crash Landings or Rodeo Corral offer a great indoor place to play and somewhere for you to get a drink and kick back for a few minutes, while the kids play and warm themselves up again.
During the Christmas Spectacular, the park opens from 10:00 daily but during peak days in December we open extra early at 9:00am. The closing times vary throughout the festive season (please see the opening times link for more information), and from 9:00 until 16:00 on Christmas Eve (as I'm pretty sure we'll all deserve a festive drink by then!)
Your ticket includes park entry for the day, use of all of the rides and attractions throughout, the amazing 'Night Before Christmas Ride' and a visit to Santa himself, all children over 90cm receive a lovely gift from Santa. All children under 90cm will be charged £4.00 during the Christmas Spectacular season, this also includes an age appropriate gift from Santa.
