Our Rudolph's Birthday sessions include the following additional elements:
Extremely overcrowded - needed more space as became very congested with people, prams and children. Long wait times for rides so we didn't go on any of them. Toilets were out of the venue splitting up our group. Circus 🎪 was amazing and entertaining and the children loved it and only positive ! Two adults two children 4/6)
Strongly advise to skip next year! Completely overrun with people, you could barely walk. Was impossible to do any of the activities as there were long lines and people with VIP passes would skip ahead of you. Despite paying a lot for entry, some very basic activities you had to pay extra for. Santa photo experience was abysmal. Horrible set up in tiny small room with very basic backdrop. Rushed and very expensive for low quality photo (singular).
The tent is extremely crowded, very hot and difficult to walk through. Even though we had VIP tickets we queued for a considerable time constantly. The fishing game is $25 for one go. if you wish to get something which is not rubbish. The circus program has been the same for the last few years. Altogether was a waste of time and money.
Many different activities for the children to enjoy. Displays were amazing. Cream of the crop was the christmas themed circus. The only thing i would recommend is to have more than 1 food van to give people more of a verify to choose from.
We did this place in 2020 and it was absolutely fantastic!! We tried it again this year, fabulous. However I wish they have more time to look around. So many things to see and not enough time. 3 hours is time given to finish. Please add another 1hour or so so kids don’t get disappointed. Also this year I found staff not as friendly. They girls at the Santa photo section and the main entrance lady. Didn’t feel like we were invited. Otherwise everything else was good. Toilets should be more closer.
What a wonderful event and worth every cent. There was so much to do for the kids along with loads of freebies such as gingerbread biscuits and decorating antlers. The circus acts were terrific and I do not have any negative things to say.
It was wonderful we loved the circus 🎪 the tents were very hot more fans would be great and a little more side show but over all it was amazing and it is a great family day out
I took my daughter and 2 grandkids aged 7 & 5 to this last Saturday. We thought it was wonderful. Well organised, definite value for money. The train ride, cup & saucer and merry-go-round were all free along with the gingerbread man decorating, gingerbread house, reindeer ears and the 1/2 hour circus which was fantastic. There are giant blow up snowmen and other beautiful decorations. There is merchandise to purchase and a couple of games that you pay for. Mostly everybody came wearing various Christmas clothes which added to the excitement of the day. Highly recommend doing this. I hope they are still running this in a couple of years when my other grandchild is old enough to take.
It was one of the best events I've had. My kids enjoyed it to the maximum. Everything in the Christmas Wonderland was perfect. I had so much fun
Had a wonderful night with my two grandchildren, very family oriented. All the staff were interactive and very friendly Will be attending next year
