The safari after dark: an extended light trail through the Foot Safari with animal light installations and fire pits, and an optional Santa's Grotto where every child gets a large plush toy. The £9.95 is the starting price, and refreshments, rides and the grotto all cost extra, so budget for the add-ons before you promise anything in the car. Book before 1 November and marshmallow toasting is thrown in.
