Ho-Ho-Oh-No!

If you love the idea of bringing your little ones to visit Santa in the weeks leading up to Christmas, getting sweet pictures of them with the man in red himself, you might have been feeling a little worried already about what this festive season will bring.

With social distancing measures in place and no end in sight yet when it comes to this pandemic, going to see Santa just doesn’t seem like it will happen, does it? At least not in the way we are used to and excited all year for.

However – all is NOT lost.

Because this year, you can take the family along to a drive-in Santa experience – all in the safety of your own car, and in the most pandemic-friendly way possible.

Welcome to the Retro Drive-In North Pole Experience at Leopardstown Racecourse in Dublin – a 45-minute magical big-screen drive-in Santa journey you have never seen before. 

Located just off Junction 15 on the M50, the team at Retro Drive-In have created a safe, interactive Santa experience from the safety and comfort of your car, where even dogs can be brought along for fun!

 So what are you waiting for? Grab your Christmas Jumpers, jump in the car and get ready for the ultimate drive-in Santa experience!
