yep it's £1.50 to book, which is the same whether there's 1 child or 9, I think it's worth it as everywhere else is much more. Last year the grotto was quite cute and they had real reindeer next to the grotto. They also have other things but they need paying for. and each child gets a gift. ds got a noddy book and dd got a pack of fancyish rubbers last year! We went to Leeds castle the previous 2 years and paid £7 each (or more, can't remember exactly) and they got a teddy which wasn't as well received by dc.
