F.A.Q
Everything you need to know about our events this year!
Our Evening Winter Wonderland is our main event offering a more magical experience due to the cover of darkness enhancing the magical glow of our Christmas lights. Also includes much more Entertainment. These nights can be much busier than our day time event. This event does not include our Parrots!
Day time with Santa includes the Tropical Birdland Experience, Walk around our gardens feeding all the birds a long the way and get up really close with our free-flying parrots. All our Christmas displays will be on show and you get to walk down our famous Fairy walk to meet Santa in his Grotto. This event is perfect for those who wants to mix a Santa experience with our Parrot Experience. These events tend to be more quieter for those who have little ones that don’t like to queue!

This is done by SEEtickets, the lower price is the price we charge and the extra is there booking fee.
SEEtickets example:
The face value of a ticket is set by the event organisers. Most don’t pay us anything to sell their tickets, so in order to make money See has to charge a little bit on top. The ticket cost is the face value plus the booking fee. We have to do this on a per-ticket basis to cover the cost of providing a 7 days a week, 24 hours a day booking service, labour costs, credit card commissions and all the other costs associated with running our business. The actual amount we charge is negotiated with the venue or promoter for each event.
For some shows, such as those held in West End theatres, there is no booking fee – the extra shown is a restoration levy collected on behalf of the theatre.
