Tower Grotto

The magical Tower Grotto returns to Zip World Tower (South Wales) this festive season! 

Grab your coat and bring plenty of festive cheer; on arrival you will be greeted with a delicious complimentary mince pie and hot chocolate (plus a mulled wine for the adults!) in our Cegin Glo Bar and Bistro. Here, there will be plenty of activities for you to get stuck into. Why not start with writing your letter to Santa at our letter writing station; you could even give it to the main man himself!

Then, head to the magical mezzanine where the Grotto awaits. You’ll get to meet Santa, take plenty of selfies and let him know your Christmas wish; not to mention receive your special gift and Welsh slate bauble!

Now’s the time to head over to the bauble crafting station, where you can decorate the slate bauble to your heart’s content; we’re sure it’ll be centre-stage on the tree at home!

Before you leave, why not pop over to our gift-shop to do some last-minute Christmas shopping, or grab a Zip World voucher for a loved one?

Letter to Santa

What better time to tell Santa what you’d like for Christmas than in person! So, get your thinking hats on and make your list a good one and be sure not to miss anything. Santa and his team of elves and reindeer will fly your letter back to the North Pole where they create all of their gifts for the good boys and girls around the world!

Grotto Experience

Looking for Santa? Follow the twinkling fairy lights up the steps to where he awaits your visit. You will find Santa inside his cosy Grotto where he loves to keep warm and enjoy a scrummy mince pie. Santa will welcome you inside to listen to your Christmas wishes, read your letter, and thank you with a special gift. Santa will also join you for some festive photographs for you to remember your experience.
