Santa at The Chocolate Warehouse Dublin

comment

*Updated 2019 details coming soon*

Christmas is not Christmas without a visit to Santa Claus at The Chocolate Warehouse for that special Santa Claus experience. The difference in the Chocolate Warehouse is that you enter a chocolate wonderland that makes this visit all the more special. Combining the excitement of Santa Claus and the surroundings of the Chocolate Warehouse will give any child memories to cherish for life.

A Special Santa Experience!

When you enter The Chocolate Warehouse you will be greeted by Santa’s helpers before entering Chocolate avenue viewing fabulous Christmas scenes along the way. Then you enter Santa’s house at the end of the avenue where you will meet Santa and receive a Christmas gift. After leaving Santa’s house you proceed to the Post Room to post your letter to the North Pole. In the Cracker Room the children have great fun where they can make their own Christmas cracker to take home. Many of these crackers end up on the Christmas tree. At your leisure you can view the Mini Chocolate Factory followed by a visit to the Chocolate Warehouse Christmas Shop.

Christmas Shop

The Christmas Shop Open From: 8th December to 23rd of December, Monday to Friday 9.30am – 5pm, Saturday 11am – 5pm & Sunday 12pm – 5pm.

Visiting the Christmas shop will tantalize even Scrooge himself. The shop is open to the public and will not only put you in the mood for Christmas but gives you the opportunity to purchase all those personalized gifts and last minute stocking fillers e.g. (teachers gifts, corporate gifts or simply all the loved ones in your life) It’s full of Christmas gifts, chocolates novelties, chocolate Santa’s, chocolate cars, chocolate footballs, hampers, teddies and goodies galore.
