Yes. Guests select a Join The North Pole Queue time at the point of booking, and there will be a queue prior to meeting Father Christmas. Guests are advised to set aside 1.5 hours to complete the experience.

For those who may find this more challenging, we recommend making your booking during one of our SEN only sessions, where capacity is less and queuing will be reduced.

Guests will be asked to leave all non-essential buggies and pushchairs in the designated Buggy Park area during their Christmas Cracker experience. Essential buggies or pushchairs must be no bigger than a single width pushchair.
