Taking 6 month old to see Santa

[Toggles]

Hi all!

First time posting here as I haven't been to Drayton Manor in a looooong time. We have a 6 month old though and it's his first Christmas so decided it would be a good festive trip for us all to pop to Drayton Manor to see the zoo, see Santa, have a hot chocolate and generally get festive.

Is there anything else apart from the train ride that we are all able to do in Thomas Land together while holding out little one? He will sit next to us but generally prefers to be held.

Just trying to get our bearings a bit before going later this week

there’s no age/height restriction on 80% of Thomas land rides but they got to be able to sit up in there own seat. No laps or in arms.

Definately go and see the shows they may enjoy them all (including Rory , Lory and Jingle Bell Party)
Thomasland has 4 different shows on so theres a lot to see there too

We will! Lil man loves anything energetic and high energy so we think it will entertain him!

Can't wait to go as a family for the first time!

When the little lad was that age we got an annual pass basically to have "all you can eat" soft play. And that was when the toddler area hadn't had any money spent on it. So thats a good option for you.

Enjoy your trip. And get ready to come back every year, we've got quite a nice little collection now of annual photos from the grotto. Not sure how many more years we'll have!

I only saw two of them, but yes, there are four different shows on the board for the event

Oh I didn't know they had soft play! That's good to know for in a couple months time when he's likely going to be crawling all over the place lol.

I'm really looking forwards to getting out together and hopefully he doesn't decide to have a grumpy day
