Why adults love our Christmas events too
When we think of Christmas experiences, it’s easy to picture children enjoying presents and giggling about Santa. But at Zip World, we want the adults to be just as excited as the kids. Whether they’re stepping back into the Christmas nostalgia of their childhood or discovering festive adventure in a whole new way, adults have found that Zip World’s Christmas events offer something beyond the ordinary Santa’s Grotto. From the atmospheric Festive Forest to the sparkle of Zipmas and the heart-warming Tower Grotto, here’s why grown-ups keep coming back for more.
Festive Forest - Adults deserve a little magic too
Festive Forest is not your average Christmas experience. Designed with the grown-up guest in mind, it’s immersive, atmospheric, and beautifully lit. Wandering through twinkling woodland, sipping a warm drink, and uncovering adventures along the way gives adults a chance to slow down and soak up the season without it feeling overly child focused.
The whole experience offers the perfect blend of wonder and fun. With stunning details and a touch of sophisticated festive enchantment, adults can get into the Christmas spirit.
Zipmas - See the kids’ joy… and catch yourself smiling too
Zipmas is pure Christmas delight, capturing everything we loved about the holidays as children. And while the little ones are busy meeting Santa and exploring the underground grotto, adults get something that’s just as rewarding - the chance to watch it all unfold.
There’s something special about seeing kids’ faces light up whether it’s from seeing Santa, exploring the underground light tunnels, or creating heritage crafts to take home. Adults often find themselves riding the wave of that excitement, rediscovering the Christmas magic they thought they’d outgrown. And of course, the underground setting at Zip World Llechwedd adds a sense of adventure you won’t find anywhere else.
Tower Grotto - A hit of nostalgia
For parents, grandparents, aunties, uncles, and kids-at-heart, Tower Grotto offers something beautifully nostalgic. Tucked inside Cegin Glo, with Zip World Tower as the backdrop, the grotto feels like a traditional Christmas storybook brought to life. Adults love this event not just because it's charming, but because it brings back that childhood anticipation. Remembering that feeling that made Christmas feel endless and magical. Watching children explore the grotto, take part in the activities, and meet Santa creates those wholesome, heart-tugging moments that adults treasure.
The ultimate Christmas combo: Nostalgia, joy, and adventure
At their core, Zip World’s Christmas events are about shared experiences. Adults don’t come just to escort the kids, they come because they want to be part of something festive, enchanting, and a little bit adventurous. Between the stunning settings, the heart-warming family moments, and the immersive atmosphere, grown-ups get to enjoy:
- A break from the fast pace of adult life
- A chance to relive childhood excitement
- Time spent making real, screen-free memories
- Magic that feels authentic not commercialised
Whether exploring the enchanting Festive Forest, feeling the joy at Zipmas, or embracing the nostalgia at Tower Grotto, adults consistently discover that Christmas isn’t just for the kids but for anyone who’s ready to feel a spark of seasonal magic.
