TESTIMONIAL
Today we brought 60 children and 10 adults on a trip to ride on the Santa special. I just wanted to write to say thank you for a wonderful experience. As a child I have ridden on the Santa specials with my parents and today, with my class of children, it was every bit as good as I remember.
The staff were very very helpful and made the trip so much easier. The gentleman who was Father Christmas was excellent and took time to speak to each child as he gave them the presents. He even posed for photos with us on the platform at the end of the ride.
The toys the children received were excellent and the whole experience was marvellous. Well worth the money.
I will definitely be recommending this to all my friends and to other teachers and can't wait to bring my own daughter to visit.
Thank you again for being so welcoming and friendly and making this a school trip that we will all remember for a very long time.
