Ways to make your kids believe in Christmas magic again

Christmas magic doesn’t have to fade as kids get older. With the right experiences, you can reignite their wonder in Christmas and Zip World’s Christmas events are perfect for doing just that.

Create magical memories with adventure 

One of the best ways to make Christmas feel magical is to combine it with adventure. At Zip World Manchester, the The Grumpy Grotto turns festive fun into a playful quest. Kids can climb and bounce through treetop nets, sneaking into the Grump’s lair to recover Christmas presents. 

Festive Forest at Zip World Betws-y-Coed offers even more adventure with the Polar Coaster Express! With 3 magical rides through an icy-lit forest, this adventure sees you weaving under the stars in your own sledge or with family (restrictions apply). The combination of adventure and a festive atmosphere create the perfect environment to bring the magic to life. 

Immerse them in storytelling

When kids are part of a story their imaginations soar. Zip World’s Christmas events lean into this brilliantly. Zipmas, our underground Christmas grotto, provides stunning story-telling projections full of character, narrative, and magic. This new addition to Zipmas allows you to discover the story of Zipmas and marvel at the enchanted slate caverns. The tale of Zipmas really brings Christmas to life for kids of all ages!

Introduce the unexpected

Magic grows when the experience is unlike anything they’ve seen before. Zipmas, set deep underground in a slate mine, combines light displays, festive stories, and a journey by cable railway. Meeting Santa in a cavernous, twinkling space makes the adventure feel extra special and unforgettable. 

Make it personal

After enjoying our grotto experiences like Tower Grotto in South Wales, children can decorate a festive keepsake, like a personalised bauble. Taking a piece of the experience home helps cement the magic and gives kids something tangible to remember their adventure by.

Warm moments 

Magic isn’t just about thrills, it’s about cosy, shared moments too. Hot chocolate, mince pies, and festive snacks create those warm, happy memories that make the day feel extra magical and they are all included in your Tower Grotto, Zipmas and Festive Forest ticket.

Create family stories

These aren’t just visits to Santa. They are shared adventures that your family experiences together. Those shared stories are what truly make Christmas feel magical again. By centring the season around Zip World’s Christmas events, you’re giving your kids something far more memorable than decorations or gifts - you’re giving them adventure, imagination, and the joy of believing in Christmas magic again.
