About

Experience Montalto's Magical Christmas with Santa Claus & Helpers…

Wrap up warm as you prepare to arrive at M.O.N.T.A.L.T.O. (Main Office of North Pole Traditions And Licensed Toy Operations). Here our jolly Head Elf will greet you and take you to board the Evergreen Express, a train fuelled entirely by Christmas Cheer, as it passes through Montalto's winter landscape, before dropping you off at the very place Santa stays with us each December.

Once you've arrived, Mrs. Claus will be there, checking her list to see who's been naughty or nice. For those who have made it on to the Nice List, Santa himself will be eagerly waiting to speak with you, take pictures, and share a special gift.

You'll have plenty of opportunities to make yourself busy with enchanting activities like Santa letter writing, making reindeer food, meeting our farm animals, and leaving a wish at our magical Wishing Tree. There’ll be plenty of chances to show just how good you can be! Be sure to post your letter back to Santa’s Workshop, grab a delicious festive treat, and dance away to festive tunes under our Chrimbo Disco Tipi!

Multiple dates and time slots are available for this experience, however due to its popularity, early booking is advised.
We also have an ASD Session available on Monday 23rd December, 10am-12pm.
