Lions, giraffes, dinosaurs and Santa! Our review of Santa Safari and ice-skating at West Midland Safari Park
Merry Christmas! You have reached the North Pole – and there's lions, giraffes, tigers, dinosaurs and Santa!
This is the third year we have headed for a festive trip to West Midland Safari Park's Santa Safari and that in itself speaks for itself.
It takes for a really special Christmas experience to make a family wish to return the following year – and it's quite simply because this one has it all.
This year has something extra special too - there's Santa's grotto, the animal drive-thru and all the other usual parts of the Kidderminster attraction, but this time there's ice-skating too.
Visitors can chose whether to drive the four-mile safari first or to park up and head to the magical winter grotto or the Safari Skating area.
Santa is based in the middle of a festive dreamland. It’s decked out from wall to ceiling with snow, elves and all the singing, dancing creatures of the North Pole.
But to start with an elf leads the excited crowds into Santa’s sleigh for an animated ride where two moving reindeer jump into action and the walls change as it heads into the North Pole.
