Just back from the Christmas Wonderland and had to leave a review. We were so impressed. There's lots of activities for the little ones and the staff were all amazing! My one year old loved it. Well done to all involved.

Emma York Dec 2015

Just visited the Winter Wonderland with our baby daughter and little niece. We can't recommend it enough. Such an amazing effort by all who created the setting which was topped off by the lovely helpful elves and Santa. The presents for the kids were great too! Keep up the good work and we will be back next year!
