2025 Santa Experience
Have your Santa photo taken at Snowplanet
Santa photos available 22nd November – 24th December
This festive season, Santa has set up shop at Snowplanet, but this year, he’s bringing the magical photos and memories indoors to the warmth of the 7 Summits Restaurant.
Step into Santa’s enchanting Gingerbread Village, where glittering lights dance across snow-capped trees create the perfect backdrop. Families will meet Santa on his balcony overlooking the wintery scene and capture their family photo in comfort – the perfect winter moment without the winter chill.
After your merry meeting with Santa, you can relax and indulge in the delicious food and drinks at 7 Summits Restaurant & Bar.
If you’d like to extend the magic, add on a trip to Santa’s Winter Wonderland on the snow. The Christmas-themed snowy village sparkles with fairy lights and Christmas lasers, with festive games and fun for the whole family. Try out the snowman snowball throw, the reindeer toss or pose for a fun photo in the LED snowman board. Explore the mini playhouse, snowy slides and puzzles, or take a ride down the tobogganing track. For extra thrills, race down our two ice-walled tubing tracks.

Important Information
Santa photos are Indoors this year in the warm and welcoming 7 Summits Restaurant.
To make sure every family enjoys their time with Santa, each session is limited to one family per 5-minute time slot. This helps avoid long waits, especially for families with little ones. If your group has more than six people, let us know in advance.
You’re welcome to bring along your own camera in Winter Wonderland! There are plenty of magical photo spots: wander through snowy landscapes, pose among twinkling Christmas trees, step inside Santa’s cozy cabin, take a seat in his sleigh, or even snap a selfie with Rudolf.
When you visit Santa’s Winter Wonderland you need to remember we keep it at a chilly -5 °. Please wear lots of warm clothes, a beanie and gloves. Also, the snow tends to make your shoes wet, so waterproof shoes or snow boots are recommended.
Don’t worry if you don’t have these or forget something, you can hire them on the day for a special price – only for Santa visitors! Don’t forget your gloves!
Call 094270199 for any questions or to book.
