For the past few years we've been visiting Santa at his grotto, and it has become a tradition for us. So far we haven't been to the same grotto yet as there are so many and all are different. I was made aware that Santa will set up his grotto at the Chill Factore in Manchester, and I just know that it is the grotto we will be going this year to meet him because, what's better than meeting Santa in real snow?
Santa's Magical Grotto is open every weekend in November, and every day in December all the way until Christmas Eve in Chill Factore. Not only do you and the kids get to meet Santa, children under four can also enjoy half an hour play time in the Mini Moose Land, where as children above four can have a good hour of fun in the Snow Park (you can click here to see our Mini Moose Land and Snow Park review). I think that's plenty as it does get really cold inside!
To welcome Santa to his grotto, the famous Peppa Pig will be visiting during the 22nd and 23rd November weekend too! it will be a very busy weekend so if you'd like to see Santa and Peppa Pig, I'd suggest booking your tickets as soon as possible.
