The Santa Experience is a multi-room show where families take a group tour through the North Pole. Children and adults alike are entertained throughout by energetic elves who will tell everyone exactly how Santa, his reindeer and all the elves prepare for Christmas. Everyone will be transported to the North Pole where they will visit:

• The Elves Post Office
• Santa’s Stable
• The Sleigh Station
• The Arctic
• Santa’s House

Children will delight as they interact with elves, reindeer, polar bears and may even get to ride in Santa’s Sleigh on their way to meet the big man himself in his authentic log cabin!

Watch the amazed faces as Santa knows about them, thanks to the Santa Needs to Know forms, filled in at the time of booking.

Each ticket includes meeting and interacting with Elves and Santa, travelling through 5 fun-filled festive rooms, and a beautiful gift to treasure.

A professional photographer will be on hand to capture all magical moments and you can order 8 x 10 framed prints immediately afterwards if you wish. The first print is priced at €12 and subsequent prints will be priced at €6 per print.

Also, on the 3rd December from 3pm to 6pm there is a special ASD Quiet Santa Evening for children with sensory and special needs.

The Remembrance Tree will function each day from 10.30am to 5pm throughout this period when citizens and visitors may write a name on a yellow ribbon of some person who has passed away or is unable to be at home this Christmas. The ribbons are free and the public may make a donation if desired for the benefit of the nominated charities.

From 1st December to 23rd December 2018, the tree will become a sea of yellow with thousands of ribbons fixed to its branches and it is expected that during this period over 10,000 names will be remembered on the tree while visiting choirs and music groups will provide entertainment during this time.
