Meet Santa Animal Gift-Giving Relaxed at Whipsnade Zoo

Join our elves to make tasty gifts for some of our Zoo residents and then head on a tour to deliver your gift and watch the animals get stuck in. And of course, every child will meet Santa in his grotto and take away a Christmas gift.

Most suitable for ages 5 and over. This experience starts at 8:30am and lasts approximately 1hr and 30 minutes.

Relaxed sessions run with dimmed lighting, quieter sounds and other reduced sensory stimulation to make the area feel more relaxed, specifically designed for those with additional needs. Please be considerate of your fellow bookers and only book these sessions if you need them as there’s strictly limited availability.

Up to three children can be booked onto a single Meet Santa session. If you need to book more than three children, please make a separate booking.

Zoo entry is not included in this ticket. Although this experience starts before the Zoo opens, all visitors will need a valid Zoo ticket or ZSL membership, in addition to any Meet Santa ticket, in order to enter the Zoo.
