Christmas at Avon Valley Adventure & Wildlife Park

Put on your Christmas jumpers and take the family to Avon Valley Adventure & Wildlife Park near Bath and Bristol for an unforgettable Christmas Experience. Choose from a variety of activities with something for all to enjoy.

Get your skates on at the glittering outdoor Ice Rink. All are welcome on the real ice rink, from young beginners to experienced skaters. Sessions last 45 minutes and skating aids are available on a first come, first served basis. As darkness falls there will be special lighting effects.

Wondering where to take the kids to see Santa this year? Book your tickets for a Christmas Experience featuring The Santa Show. Look forward to a fun-filled family show and then head to Santa’s beautifully decorated cabin to receive your ’golden ticket’ allowing you to choose your own gift from the Toy Factory! There each child can select their own present.

Other activities include The Grinch Show, new for 2024. Will you be able to make his heart grow three sizes? Also there will be gingerbread decorating in Mrs Claus’ Gingerbread Parlour, the Magical Forest and rides on The Elf Express along the miniature railway.

Meanwhile, Santa’s Post Room is a ’must’ for posting your Christmas letters and there is even the option of the Avon Valley SMS (Santa Messaging Service) for those important last-minute requests. Of course, no one will want to go home without making the most of all the usual park attractions such the indoor play barn.

For a magical after-dark treat, choose Avon Valley Christmas Nights Light Trail. Wrap up and follow the lights trail around the park, with the trees and lakes creating a stunning backdrop. Look forward to mesmerising light installations and illuminated play areas making it a particularly family-friendly winter lights trail.

Some activities require booking in advance.
