Without an entrance ticket to the Park you will not be allowed through to visit Father Christmas.

Adults and children have to have Park entry tickets.

Knockhatch Adventure Park does not guarantee a time if you miss your slot, you will be given another number and you will start the virtual queue again.

Father Christmas wants to give you all a great experience, so please be patient.

There may be a long wait, we suggest you make sure you are in Froggies at least five numbers before your number is called.

Father Christmas also has to take a break to go and feed his reindeer so the experiences will stop for an hour between 1.00 pm to 2.00 pm.

Knockhatch Adventure Park entrance tickets must be purchased separately on the gate or online.
