The Night Before Christmas

At Sundown Adventureland, you already know we love Christmas, but this ride is extra special and only opens its magical doors at Christmas time. It’s the most festive ride you’ll ever ride and whisks you through magical Christmas scenes to meet Santa himself!

We love Christmas

With your booking, you will have a timed slot for when you need to arrive at the ride. You can arrive at the park at whatever time you like, but you do need to stick to your booking time to see Santa. That way, you’ll have a full family day of fun, adventure and exploration and we can keep the queues small and the kids happy.

Entry to the ride is through the four seasons arena, where you can enjoy the entertainment while you wait and build your Christmassy excitement.
