Best Santa for toddler in/around Cardiff?

[MrsKitty]

Just wondering if anyone has any recommendations for the best place to take DS (2.10) to see Santa this year? Anywhere in or around Cardiff - have car, will travel!

Also have 9wk baby so ideally will have nearby parking and not toooo long a queue (I know, I know - asking a bit much in December...) as BF DD needs feeding quite regularly and I've never mastered the art of doing it standing up!

If you would like a truly magical experience then go to Brecon Mountain Railway in Merthyr. A little expensive but you ride the Santa express steam train to get there. Very magical. You have to book first and you di have to queue for a little while but still fabulous.

Also Rhondda heritage park- santa's grotto is in the 'toy mine'- you walk through the mine into santa's bedroom through his wardrobe. Very fabulous. You need to book first and I wouldn't advise taking the pram. There is seating when you find Santa and is ll quite magical.

Wow - they sound fantastic! We'll choose one of those next year I think. Went to Caerphilly Garden Centre in the end this year - was nice, and probably about enough at this age, I think next year he'll really start 'getting' the magic.
