Santa's Grotto is back at Wildwood Kent, the woodland wildlife park near Herne Bay. Visit Santa in his enchanting world, surrounded by elves busily preparing for the big day, before meeting Father Christmas himself. Each visit includes an exclusive 5-minute family visit with Santa, a luxury soft toy gift and a personalised message from Santa.

Dates & Times
5th, 6th, 12th and 13th December, then 17th to 24th December 2026

Price
£20 per child
Full park entry must also be paid, or valid membership shown, when visiting between 10am and 3pm. After 3pm, grotto visitors don't pay park entry, as the main park is closed to the public and staff escort you to and from the grotto.

Additional Information
