    just found out the price of visiting santa at aliwee caves this year,

    child is 33 euros
    adult is 15 euros
    total for 4 kids and both parents is 162 EUROS!

    i have been bringing my kids here for the last 5 years but after seeing these prices those days are over!this is simply greed on behalf of the company who runs the cave.

    i cannot understand how they can increase their prices by so much since last year, pure greed.

    depends on exactly what you get for your money, do you get photos and/or presents?

    a pressie that you could buy in the €2.00 shop and a stocking that you could buy in the €2.00 shop full of cheap chocolate for the kids, a cup and a glass xmas tree decoration for the adults.

    You also get to go 1/2 way into the cave singing Xmas songs and there is storytelling and face painting, they also have a mini carousel and 2 other mini rides.

    photos: mouse mat photos/key-rings/fridge magnets are all extra, TBH not worth the money but nothing is these days.

    We always go into see the birds of prey exhibit and there is a Xmas market too.

    We were there last year and had a super time. Didn't think it was that expensive for something you could almost drag the whole day out of. The rides and the bus/train thing were well used and the storyteller was great. Depends on what your kids are into I suppose. If they're Gameboy types you're basically scuppered!
    We're going this year too anyway.

    Doesn't sound too bad for what you get. It's not comparable to seeing santa in a shopping centre, for example, where it's in and out in 5 mins. Like the other poster said, it's more like a day trip.
