✨ Christmas Lanterns – Back for 2026! ✨

Our much-loved Christmas Lantern Tours are back, and this year we’re making them even more magical! 🎄🏮

🎨 Get creative! Every child will design and decorate their very own festive lantern before writing a heartfelt letter to Santa.

🎅 A little Christmas magic! Once their letter has been posted, the excitement continues, as every child will receive a personalised reply from Santa himself to take home and treasure!

🦦 Discover the zoo after dark! Explore Hemsley Conservation Centre after hours and enjoy exclusive animal talks and enchanting stories you won’t hear during a normal daytime visit. See the zoo in a whole new light and discover what makes our animals so special.

☕ Festive treats are included! Warm up in our Rainforest Tearooms with a delicious hot chocolate and a mince pie for both you and your little one - all included in your ticket price! Our tearoom will also be open for additional festive treats, snacks and drinks if you fancy something extra.
