Children can meet their favourite Nicktoons characters at Blackpool's Christmas grotto this year.
As well as having the chance to meet Santa, the resort's 'Winter Wonderland' will play host to SpongeBob Squarepants, Dora the Explorer, Chase and Marshall from PAW Patrol and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
Families can make a day of it by visiting Blackpool Pleasure Beach grotto, which is open at weekends between now and Christmas and for the whole week in the run-up to Christmas Eve.
Children can have their photo taken with the Nickelodeon characters, tie a Christmas wish to the beautifully decorated tree and then visit the arena for some ice skating fun.
On certain dates - December 11, 17, 18 and 24 – ice skating finishes at 1pm for a 2.30pm performance of Alice In Wonderland on Ice.
Anyone booking a grotto visit on these dates will get a ticket to watch the show from the Blackpool Ice Drome Charities Association.
A visit to the Nicktoons Christmas Grotto costs £10.99 online, or £12.99 on the day, and includes entrance to the grotto, a Diamond Pass gift from Santa, ice skating, skate hire and a choice of tea, coffee or hot chocolate.
A Diamond Pass entitles you to a Pleasure Beach Pass for every day of the 2017 season - giving you admission to the park.
