Tips & Advice
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before your booked departure time to check in and prepare for your tractor ride; missing it means a longer walk to the Elf Woods.
- Dress warmly and wear wellington boots or appropriate footwear, as the entire event takes place outdoors in the potentially cold and wet Elf Woods.
- If your booking is after 5:30 PM, arrive early to enjoy the Farm Park and food options, as some facilities may close around 7 PM.
- Consider booking the optional ice skating experience to extend the festive fun after your Elf Express adventure.
- The tractor ride requires buggies and pushchairs to be collapsed, so be prepared to manage them accordingly.
