Christmas has arrived at the Museum!

At your booked time, your train will depart from Reeds Road Station, near the Museum main entrance gates, running around the museum up to North Pole Station, from where the elves workshop and Santa's grotto are a short walk away through the trees.
Once in the grotto family groups will be called in to meet Santa, whilst you are waiting for your turn, children may take part in craft activities with the elves in the elves workshop.
Children aged from 0-12 years visiting Santa will recieve a gift from Santa and a 'I've seen Santa' sticker. All gifts are unisex appropriate.
Visitors with Santa's Grotto tickets may explore the whole museum, decorated for Christmas with period decorations in our historic buildings and take part in seasonal family activities before and / or after visiting Santa in his grotto.
