Important Info

Christmas Town is mainly outdoors. All attractions have maximum capacities, so queuing will be necessary. Rides and shows may pause or change in severe weather. Please note that the ice rink is synthetic. Children aged 8 and under must be accompanied by an adult on all attractions. All attractions require all children and adults to have a pass. Babies aged 2 or under do not need a pass to join your party on suitable attractions. For Santa’s Grotto, children aged 2 and under may enter with a pass-holding sibling but will not receive a gift. If you would like your baby to visit the grotto without an older child and receive a gift, please purchase a Golden Pass for the adults and a 2-and-under Grotto pass.
