​POLAR BUS ~ GUEST BOOK
We took our 5 & 2 year old girls on the Polar bus, it was fantastic! Something different to the usual Santa's grottos. My girls can be very shy in new environments but Arti the elf got all children well involved in story telling, singing and dancing! Santa in his grotto was amazing (couldn't get the girls out, they were chatting away to him). I would definitely recommend a visit to the Polar Bus at Christmas, and we took advantage of the 10% off dinner in the Fifield Inn... Food was delicious

-oOo-

My twin boys and I had a wonderful time aboard the Polar Bus singing songs and listening to Christmas stories with the Number One Elf! Loved the Bubble Man and really loved meeting the real Father Christmas!

-oOo-

Great morning on The Polar Bus!|
The boys were mesmerised by Santa...
Thanks  X


-oOo-
 
My three little girls had a wonderful time on the bus and meeting Father Christmas in the grotto was a highlight. A lovely festive adventure and a friendly and enthusiastic team on the bus! Thank you.

Really lovely idea and setting.
The kids loved it!

We visited the Yuletide Bus this morning, my daughter is 9 and we both had a great time . Everything from the fairy, the elf, face painter and Father Christmas, the bus and whole atmosphere . Thank you x

Great. Can be difficult keeping both a 5yr old and 10 month old happy at the same time - but they both thoroughly enjoyed it. Will definitely come again.

evolved, to sit and write this rhyme!
