Meet Elsa Reviews

Posted on by Whilton Locks Garden Centre

Here’s what you said about our magical Meet Elsa event.

“Popped in here randomly. Saw they had Anna and Elsa and enquired.
We were told today was the last day and it finished at 2. (we were there gone 4…close to closing time)
The lady went out of her way to ask Anna and Elsa if they could see our girls.
Anna took our eledest girls hand and led her to the ice palace.
My girls were amazed and in awe at this experience. 
Myself and their dad were touched at how kind the lady who we enquired to….going out of her way to make sure our girls had sn experience like no other even though we were past the ending time.
We were in the ice palace a good 10 minutes or more where Anna and Elsa were talking to the girls and involving them in everything.
I have never seen anything so worth while and enjoyable….even close to closing time nothing was rushed and it was truly magical. Thank you!” Lauren Hill, Facebook

“This place is brilliant. Took my 22 month old here for afternoon tea with Elsa and it was so unbelievably magical. The staff couldn’t do enough to help us and were so kind.
