A popular Scottish wildlife park in the Highlands has announced that Santa Claus and his reindeers will be coming to visit them ahead of Christmas this year.
The Highland Wildlife Park, which is near Kingussie, is set to host St Nick and his reindeer crew for four exciting dates this December.
The Royal Zoological Society of Scotland run park is inviting families and animal fans to come and see Father Christmas during his trip to the Highlands, and meet him before he travels back home to the North Pole this Christmas.
Santa will tell tales, treat children to an early Christmas surprise and introduce attendees to the park’s resident herd of forest reindeer.
The exciting event is set to take place on the following dates:
Saturday 11 December
Sunday 12 December
Saturday 18 December
Sunday 19 December
Tickets are priced at £25 per child or £20 for participating under-threes, with each experience will last 45 mins and is an add-on to the daytime visit to the park itself.
The park recently announced that it is hoping for pitter-patter of polar bear cub paws after it announced that star attraction Victoria has entered her cubbing box for winter.
Victoria and mate Arktos have been courting again this year after the last successful dalliance between the pair led to the birth of the popular cub Hamish.
They now hope Hamish will have a new sibling.
Tickets for Santa’s Highland Storytime events are on sale now at highlandwildlifepark.org.uk/events-experiences/.
