Tickets to visit Santa in his cosy log cabin are always very popular, so book now and use your Kids Pass to get money off! And there’s a bonus! - All children visiting Santa’s grotto get a fantastic present.

You also won’t want to miss Dick Whittington, on his daring journey through the streets of London seeking fame and fortune, in this year’s Christmas panto. Shows in the Happydrome Theatre at noon and 3pm.

Guided by the magical Fairy Bow Bells and his best friend, the cheeky Cheshire Cat, Dick quickly discovers the streets aren’t really paved with gold. After meeting Alice Fitzwarren and taking a job with her father, things are looking up, but the evil King Rat has other ideas.

Will Dick find his fortune? Will good conquer evil, or will King Rat succeed in stopping the course of true love? Do paws beat claws? Whatever happens this action-packed panto will be full of laughter, music and dance.

Other attractions at the park, opposite Bournemouth Airport, include the massive indoor adventure play centre, Wild Thing! And Nativity Cuddle Corner, with a selection of furry friends.
