Brought my little boy to see Santa today, it was fabulous & suitable for all ages. I loved story time with Santa & Mrs Claus. Thanks for making it a magical experience Was also really impressed with the range of gifts & decorations at reasonable prices. Will definitely be returning.

Really love the food in the restaurant, however, the portions are way too big - and I'm quite greedy! The prices also err a little on the expensive side. Here's a thought, 10% less on the plate = 10% less on the bill.?
