    We just got an email from Causey Farm who have opened bookings already :eek::eek:

    We were in Causey last year with our (almost) 3 year old. He loved Santa and the toy room and is still playing with his toy from Santa though he did find the wind up to getting to Santa a little slow.

    This year he'll be nearly 4. We'd like to try somewhere else this year. Ideally within an hour of Dublin/North Kildare.

    Anyone have a good experience last year they'd like to share?

    Liked Avoca last year and my children loved it. Not so much an experience, just meeting Santa but it went down a treat.

    Santa Express at Palmerstown House. (Just before Naas) We've been there the last 2 years with our 2 and really enjoyed both visits.
    Heading to Causey farm this year (The Mrs booked it this morning already!) for a change.

    Which store was that in? I’m going to skip the Santa experiences this year & just go with a Santa visit. They are too expensive & all kids want is to see Santa & get present. Avoca appeals to me as a parent so if kids happy I’m happy 😀

    I’ve been to Avoca in powerscourt the last few years. It’s just a visit to Santa but is done very well. They also have a barn with animals including deer outside.

    The only issue is there is huge demand for tickets. Weekend tickets sell out very quickly, probably on the day they go on sale.
