The Christmas Grotto experience has been designed with younger children in mind. Children 12+ are welcome through the grotto but will not receive a gift from Santa. This is reflected in the ticket price. If you are planning to bring along an older sibling (12+) and would still like them to receive a gift, please book them a Child 8-11 Christmas grotto & park entry ticket. Please be aware this gift will be best suited to an 8-11 year old.
Maximum 2 Adults per booking. Any extra adults will need Winter Fun Tickets to enter the park but won’t be able to enter the grotto.
The timeslot booked at checkout is the time you should arrive at the Christmas grotto to begin your walkthrough experience. Guests can enter the park at any time after opening to use the Winter Fun rides and attractions.
This is a PRE-BOOK ONLY CHRISTMAS EVENT in Devon. Tickets must be purchased online by 3pm the day before visiting. We are unable to offer Grotto tickets to day visitors without a pre-booking for the Grotto.
