• Christmas Wonderland

    December 2026

  •  

    This Christmas, we invite all believers in Santa to embark on an enchanting adventure like no other! Imagine receiving a personal invitation from Santa himself, delivered right to your doorstep by royal mail —your journey into a world of festive wonder begins here!

    Start your magical experience at the Elf Grotto, where you’ll be gifted a special golden ticket to unlock your adventure. Whilst you wait for your magical journey to begin, why not create your own card crafting in the Dizzy Duck Cafe! Here, you will collect any Elf Coins you've purchased to use for your visit!

    Then you will be directed through the secret door to hop aboard our Tractor-Sleigh, cheerfully driven by the jolly Elf Weyhey, and set off toward the Magical Woodland!

    Upon arrival, your golden ticket will be checked by the vigilant Elf Galathar, our official ticket inspector. With a sprinkle of magical fairy dust, you’ll gain the power to see the hidden elves as you explore the enchanted forest.  Purchase marshmallows, for toasting, with your Elf Coins too!

    Wander down Candy Cane Lane, where you’ll be captivated by Elf Tinsel Toes, our delightful storyteller, as she shares a reimagined tale of Santa in the Woodland Theatre.

    Next, unleash your creativity in the Toadstool Workshops, guided by Elf Faerydae, the Elf of Spells. Here, you’ll craft your very own wish list for Santa. Then, journey through the whimsical Gingerbread House, where you’ll perform a spell-casting ritual to send your wishes to Santa via flame mail—a truly magical moment!

    As excitement builds, visit Mrs. Claus at her cosy Cookie House, where a delicious homemade cookie awaits you. While you enjoy your treat, join Elf Elziba for festive games like Splat the Reindeer or Snowball Throw, as you await Santa’s grand arrival.

    Finally, step into Santa’s Cabin, where he’ll decide if you’ve been naughty or nice! All nice children will receive a special gift bag containing a cute soft toy and a gift voucher for an exciting return visit to Perthshire Zoo in 2027! Santa will also gift you a unique and exciting mini Animal Experience voucher for two, to book at a date in 2027!  These special mini Animal Experiences last 15 mins and must be booked online using your unique code.

    After this unforgettable journey, hop back on the tractor-sleigh for a scenic ride back to the Gift Shop. The Dizzy Duck Cafe will be open and offering festive treats, cakes, coffees and a full winter menu.

    Join us in creating the most enchanting Christmas experience for your little ones! Don’t miss out on this extraordinary adventure—book your tickets today and let the magic begin!
