Explore the twinkling wonderful winter woodland until you find Santa in his grotto where he will have a gift for every child. He’s going to be super-busy this year so while you’re waiting to meet him, enjoy cool children’s fun activities.

An unlimited number of adults can visit the Grotto with their children/grandchildren; tickets are for the Grotto only, and do not include admission into any of the Museums.
