About Storytime with Santa
Step into the magic of the season at Santa’s Grotto at Thinktank Science Museum, where little ones are welcomed into a cosy, festive setting to meet Santa himself.
Children will gather around to enjoy a heartwarming Christmas story read by Santa, before heading to Santa’s workshop for a hands-on craft activity.
While families get creative, each child will be invited to meet Santa personally to receive a special gift and with a chance for parents to take a photo to remember the day.
This 45-minute experience is filled with festive cheer, creativity, and memorable moments, making it the perfect way to celebrate the season together.
Each ticket includes a festive storytime session, a special gift for every child, and the opportunity for a photo with Santa.
