Conifox Adventure Park announces Scotland’s only drive-thru Christmas experience

Kirklison’s Conifox Adventure Park has announced the return of its sell out Christmas experience this December but with a ‘2020’ twist.

Santa and his gang will meet excited visitors from the safety of their cars

This year excited visitors will now meet Santa and his gang in a drive-thru experience as they enjoy the winter wonderland, but at a safe distance.

The festive drive-thru experience will allow guests to stop their cars at various points to enjoy scenes and actors in the Toy Workshop, the Reindeer Flying School, Mrs Claus’ Kitchen, the Enchanted Forest and most importantly, Santa’s Livingroom, where they will meet the big man himself.

Running from December 3 until December 23, tickets for Scotland’s only drive-thru Christmas experience will be available from between 2pm and 4pm costing £20 per car and 4pm until 9pm at £25 per car, allowing for gorgeous Scottish country views by day and breath-taking twinkling lights by night.

James Gammell, director of Conifox Adventure Park marks this special occasion: “In a year of uncertainty, we are all eagerly awaiting Christmas and the arrival of Santa. Here at Conifox Adventure Park we are honoured that the main man himself has chosen us to make a pit-stop before the big day, inviting all our favourite families down to say hello.

"With everything from a trip to the magical elf village in the Enchanted Forest, to a quick stop to see Mrs Claus, this immersive experience will see their little faces light up and with the magic and wonder of Christmas all around, it will spark the imaginations of the big ‘kids’ too!”

Due to government guidelines, Santa will not be able to handout presents to the visiting children, but he suggests that visitors bring wrapped presents with them, hiding them in the boot of the car and seeing them magically appear after the family has met with him.

The drive will take around 20 minutes, with actors, waving and engaging with visitors from the safety of open marquees.

Tickets available now and are subject to additional government guidelines. They can be purchased via the Ticketsource website.

More information can be found on the Conifox Adventure Park website or Facebook page.
