- A Christmas Hard luck Bear Jamboree

- A live Pantomime Show
- A Visit to Santa
- Walk through Santa’s Winter Wonderland

You can visit Santa in his Magical Grotto and get a lot of treats at Winter Wonderland or walk on the “North Pole.” Become Honorary Elves and help Santa get ready for the Christmas Eve. You will meet many furry friends, elves and snowmen at the Wonderland.
You can watch Gully being silly at Gully’s pantomime show. The shows this year include Leonard the lion cub’s first Christmas somewhere deep in the jungle and Randolph from the Rocking Reindeers performing not only rock-n-roll but also magic making it snow in front of your eyes!
It snows every day at Gulliver’s and Gully’s Snow Time is particularly great!
And the Christmas Turkey dinner comes with not only turkey but potatoes and vegetables cooked so yummy that you will eat a lot. You can also select just the presents you want.
