This Christmas, experience a winter wonderland of magical, festive atmosphere with Santa at Bunratty Folk Park.
As the excitment builds to meet Santa we have lots of games and treats to keep young minds active as they wait for their name to be called….then it’s into Santa’s Grotto to meet the jolly man himself, Santa Claus!
Take a spin in the Polar Express train, get active at Santa’s Little Helpers workshops and don’t forget about the fabulous Puppet Show
Also, Mrs. Claus will be in her kitchen preparing for Santa’s big trip, making sure that his clothes are washed and he has plenty of food. Join in and listen to the Folk Park story teller as he recalls colourful tales of Christmas long ago.
