Meet Santa

Meet Santa in his grotto at Askham Bryan Wildlife Park, with a day at the park included in the ticket.

Children can meet Santa in his grotto between 4pm and 5pm, with a specific time slot assigned by email once you've booked. Every child meeting Santa must be accompanied by a fee-paying adult, and the ticket includes a child entry ticket to the Wildlife Park plus an animal-themed gift from Santa. A standard child ticket is also available for anyone who'd rather visit without meeting Santa. Your ticket lets you visit the Wildlife Park any time from 10am to 4pm on the day, so there's a full day out before your grotto slot. The park is home to over 100 species of mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, fish and invertebrate, though the source doesn't say which animals feature as part of the Christmas visit itself.
