Festive spotter trail: Help Santa find his reindeer!
Christmas is just around the corner, but Santa has a problem... his playful reindeer have disappeared from the North Pole and are hiding around Dunstable Downs.
- Booking not needed
- Admission applies
Set off on a family adventure to search for Santa's missing helpers. They've gone wandering off around the Chiltern Gateway Centre and along our path to Chute Wood.
Can you find all 12 reindeer before Christmas Eve? Each reindeer has a festive word for you to collect.
Write down each word on your trail sheet as you go, then complete Santa's Christmas Crossword.
Once you've found all the cheeky reindeer and festive words, head back to our Visitor Hub to collect your festive treat.
£2 per trail | Best suited to younger ages 3-12 years, but everyone is welcome to join the hunt.
