Storytelling with Santa

Father Christmas is coming to the Museum this December! Join him for a unique storytelling experience.

Step into Father Christmas’s wintery wonderland and make this festive season truly special.

Join Santa as he shares a magical Christmas story filled with surprises and cheer, perfect for little ones and grown-ups alike.

After the story, capture the moment with a festive photo and take home a special T. rex tree decoration as a roaring reminder of your visit to us.

Don’t forget to say hello to our famous animatronic T. rex afterwards, sporting its very own dino-sized version of our Christmas jumper.

Each child’s ticket includes up to two adults.
