    The santa in Leisurezone or whatever it's called now is very good, very realistic.

    Leahy's Farm on the Waterford/Cork border is good as there's animals, Mrs Claus baking etc

    yeah gino's beard is real too- what a legend!


    we decided to go to maguires garden centre today.wasn't bad either but the queue was very slow-took us an hour.
    i don't think anything will compare to fenor farm.we went there a couple of years ago and was the best all round.we called out today but it was closed:(

    Leahy's Farm is great. Fully guided tour showed us the talking christmas tree, the christmas angel, the 'magic' rabbits and we helped mrs claus bake! Santa was excellent too, gave the kids great time.. They also had a live crib which included the camel and was very reasonable!

    I would have to say that the one in Dungarvan Shopping Center is one of the best out there.

    The guy who did the garter lane grotto last year is now doing it in Morris Diy, looks very well, its the same guy doing santa as last year in garter lane.
