Best Place to Visit Santa 2018 - Rathwood Santa Experience

by Andrew Southwell on November 1, 2018

Irelands most popular Santa Experience is back and its bigger than ever! We invite you to share in the magic of Christmas and join us on a magical adventure through the Enchanted Forest to visit Santa, Mrs Claus and all their elves, as they finish preparations for Christmas Eve. They have all been working very hard to make sure everything is ready for Christmas Eve and would love to meet all the boys and girls to share this magical time of the year with. 

Voted Irelands No.1 Santa Experience, this magical adventure is not to be missed. At Rathwood, we know how special Christmas Time is and that is why we ensure you have a magical, memorable adventure to see Santa. From Mrs Claus to Santa and everything in between, our Santa Experience brings Christmas alive like you've never seen before. Prepare to be amazed and for your children to be in awe at every little detail during this experience. Rathwood have over 15 years of experience running their award-winning Christmas event which makes Rathwood the best place to visit Santa in Ireland. 

 

As soon as you walk through the front doors you will feel the magical Christmas atmosphere all around you. The music, the decorations and not to mention the excitement to visit Santa himself. So first things first, you follow Santa's footprints down to the check-in area where you then patiently wait to visit... Mrs Claus! 

The next part of this wonderful adventure is story time with Mrs Claus. You will automatically feel at home the moment you enter her room. The warm, festive atmosphere is bound to take that excitement to a whole new level. All the children sit up the front and listen to Mrs Claus's wonderful stories while one of her elves provides some entertainment too. When story time is over, Mrs Claus's elf will then lead all the girls and boys to the Rathwood Santa Train to begin their journey to the Enchanted Forest to visit Santa. Don't forget to keep a lookout for Rudolph and all the reindeer along the way!

The elves will most certainly keep the entertainment in full swing on the journey down to the forest to help all the kids (and big kids) get even more excited to see Santa. When you reach the Enchanted Forest you will be brought to the elve's woodland home in the wood where you can sing and dance and meet some of Santa's little helpers!

Now that you have met Mrs Claus and some of Santa's elves who is next on the list to visit? Hmmm, Santa of course! As you wait to see the man himself, the elves will sing and dance with all the kids before you are called to see Santa and share some memorable moments with your family. Santa is always full of chat and I'm sure he will have a present for everyone who has come to visit! After you have visited Santa, you will then get the Rathwood Santa Train back up from the Enchanted Forest.
