This was our second year ( we visited the farm during covid restrictions). Both times we had a lovely experience! A great day out for kids. Very lovely , kind, helpful staff ( we missed our tractor ride slot this year and they could still accommodate us) Nice face painting and other activities in the barn. Very relaxing, low key atmosphere. Perfect for kids to chill out esp at that time of year. But , without no doubt, the best of it all was meeting the main Man himself. It is a pleasure to visit his hut even being an adult. He is a true Santa. Knows it all. Definitely recommending the place. Well worth to give a go. Thank you guys!
Lovely Santa experience! It was all run very smoothly. We arrived in good time and could look around before our booked tractor ride out to Santa's cabin. The elves/Santa were great and my 8 year old really enjoyed it. He got to choose a present, which was very good quality. Afterwards we did Marshmallows and a game. Would recommend.
Can't praise this enough! We go every year and we love it as much as our kids! Have a great snack bar with fresh tasty food. While waiting for your slot there's the gift shop full of great value, quality festive items and face painting and bouncy castle for the kids at a small supplement. The staff are really accommodating and happy and get everyone involved. The Santa is great too, really speaks to each child and their gift is always good too - no rubbish there! Always love our trip here and highlights include the outdoor roasting marshmallows and throwing snowballs at the snowmen. Definitely worth trying if you haven't done before.
Amazing place to take the kids especially at Xmas. You get to visit Santa at the north pole and the kids get to pick a toy and Santa gives you a prezzie for the tree. There is also roasted marshmallows which were yummy!!! My kids told me it was better than enchanted forest or they liked it better! More kids stuff to do and amazing value for money. The staff are all amazing aswell. It's defo a must see place to put on your list.
Absolutely wonderful. The perfect, magical start to Christmas for little (and big) kids alike! Such a superior "Santa experience" - we could never go back to a shopping centre grotto after this! Staff, Santa and elves all so enthusiastic and cheerful. They seemed as delighted to be there as the visitors. New additional activities this year, such as marshmallow toasting and premium face painting, have really improved the experience on last year and it means that you can extend your visit with plenty to do besides the main event - travelling out into the forest to see Santa! Amazingly everything runs super-smoothly, with no significant queues for bouncy tractors, face painting or even the toilets, as there often is at other family attractions. Merchandise is good quality, original and reasonably priced, such as beautiful, boxed baubles, hand-painted with a scene from the farm for PS3.50, a lovely keepsake. I cannot recommend this Santa experience highly enough - it's like a little bit of Lapland in Stirlingshire. Santa even made it snow! Brilliant.
PS11 for an adult's ticket + PS26 for a child is overpriced to me after experiencing it. Not even a complimentary drink offered. You take a tractor, walk your child to see santa and then take a pic with your phone. It was also very cold everywhere (inside) so it's not like after the cold ride on the tractor you have a place to heat up. My child enjoyed it and I'm glad, but I won't go back.
