This place was a bit of an anticlimax after all the hype I'd heard about it! We paid 28 Euro to get in and thought that since the price was so expensive, the attracition would be really spectacular!, but we were wrong! Once you enter it is pretty much all shops, aside from the Elf School (I laughed at how... More

This underground xmas themed park has a fabulous feel and decor but loses it a little because of a lack of detail. It has a central area with a cafe and stage where the staff put on a show (without any dialogue- dancing only). We were there on xmas day and were surprised to find the show wasn't actually related... More

Dear Ozetravellers, thank you for taking the time to write your comments. The Xmas day is a quieter day as many families quite down to enjoy Christmas at their homes. As you learned in the Elf School it takes 99 years to become a fully learned elf and that is the time when ears and noses start growing. Some of... More

This is a great way to spend the day as a "one off" experience. We went on the Glasgow flight and cabin crew were just brilliant with the kids. When we arrived, there was no waiting around- we got through the airport, hopped on the bus and were taken to santapark pretty quickly. The elves were sooo happy and helpful-... More

The elves that greated us were lovely and very friendly, we therefore thought this was going to be a great experience. The Ice Princess was also lovely and we enjoyed looking at the ice carvings. My daughter being 12 years old found everything a little young for her from there on. The elf school was fun for the little ones... More

After booking the day trip to Santa Park for my 11yr old daughter a few weeks ago and managing to keep my mouth shut, the look on her face at 5am at the airport when I handed her her passport was priceless......and that look continued until we arrived back at home! Bit quiet in the airport but fine, plane journey... More
