点评:We visited yesterday with our 5 year old for the magical Santa express. Everything was incredibly thought out, even from the initial confirmation email which provided detailed directions for first time visitors. The vast majority the activities were undercover which meant that the occasional rain shower didn’t spoil the event. There are many activities included in the ticket price; letter writing, train ride, gingerbread decorating, raindeer feed and small fairground rides. There was ample time to explore the activities and you did not feel rushed or have to wait for long times. The santas grotto was lovely and Santa took the time to chat with our little boy - it felt like a personal visit and not like a conveyor belt which is sometime the case. The elves were especially attentive to our slightly shy five year old. The traditional theme of the village and the “snow” was an extra special touch. We paid £100 for 2 adults and 1 child including soft play, very reasonable considering the number of activities included. We were even offered a mince pie and mulled wine on arrival at no extra charge. It was refreshing to attend a Christmas attraction and for it to feel as though it upheld the Christmas spirit rather than feeling like it was just about taking your money for minimal effort. We will be booking for next year (free parking was an added bonus)
翻译:昨天我们带着五岁的孩子去体验了神奇的圣诞老人快车之旅。一切都安排得非常周到,就连最初的确认邮件都提供了详细的路线指南,方便第一次来的游客。绝大多数活动都在室内进行,所以即使偶尔下点小雨也不会影响体验。门票包含很多活动:写信、乘坐小火车、装饰姜饼、喂驯鹿以及小型游乐设施。我们有充足的时间体验各项活动,不会感到匆忙或需要长时间等待。圣诞老人的洞穴非常漂亮,圣诞老人还抽出时间和我们的小男孩聊天——感觉像是一次私人拜访,而不是像某些地方那样流水线上的产品。精灵们对我们略显害羞的五岁孩子也格外关照。村庄的传统主题和“雪景”更是锦上添花。我们两个大人和一个孩子一共支付了100英镑,包含软体游乐区,考虑到包含的活动数量,这个价格非常合理。我们到达时还免费享用了肉馅饼和热红酒。这次圣诞主题活动让人耳目一新,感觉它真正体现了圣诞精神,而不是像其他一些活动那样只是为了赚钱而敷衍了事。我们已经预订了明年的活动(免费停车真是个意外之喜)。
