€10 per child | €3 per adult (€3 booking fee per transaction)

The award winning and original Santa Experience returns to Limerick, Cork & Dublin City for Christmas. Over the past 7 years The Santa Experience in association with Dunnes Stores has entertained children and adults alike with a magical journey to Santa’s House.

Travelling through 4 fun filled festive rooms children will meet our many cheerful elves, reindeer, polar bears and maybe even get to ride in Santa’s Sleigh on your way to meet the big man himself.

The Santa Experience has proved to be very popular with thousands of children visiting us in 2015 making us one of Ireland's most popular Santa's !

One of the keys attractions besides the post office, sleigh and Santa’s log cabin is the option to book ahead to secure a specific time (within 30 mins) and date. This allows people to plan their day and get the date they want.

A professional photographer is on site to capture that magical moment. All photographs come in a professional 8×10 format with black silver trim card frame and are available immediately afterwards for purchase. A digital option is also in the form of a Santa USB stick where you can have all of your photos in digital format to print as you want. The digital package also includes one printed photo. 

The quality is fantastic and it provides families with a timeless memento. You choose and collect your photos immediately after your journey through the Santa Experience.

Santa Claus is coming to town!
