I know Halloween isn't even here yet, but Christmas is only a few months away.
It may be a little bit too early to even think about the holidays, but as many parents know, preparation is key when it comes to the most wonderful time of the year.
Christmas events and experiences are already selling out but there's one you need to get tickets for before they're all swiped up.
Ireland’s best-loved Christmas event, Santa’s House Express, is back for its 11th enchanting season at the stunning Palmerstown House Estate, Johnstown, Naas, County Kildare.
Running on select dates from November 22nd through December 23rd, 2024, this year’s experience promises to be more magical than ever, with exciting new features and unforgettable festive moments for the whole family.
As you arrive at the gates of Palmerstown House Estate, you’ll be greeted by a dazzling display of lights and festive cheer that sets the stage for a truly magical experience. After checking in, families will board the Santa’s House Express train, where the journey begins with enchanting sights and sounds that build anticipation for the festive adventure ahead.
The train ride through the estate's scenic grounds leads directly to Santa’s Manor, the heart of the Christmas celebrations. Upon arrival, guests will be welcomed into a world of warmth and wonder. Mrs. Claus is waiting to share her favourite holiday stories and offers delightful festive treats, ensuring everyone feels the Christmas spirit.
The highlight of your visit is, of course, a personal family meeting with Santa Claus himself.
Santa’s cozy reading room has been transformed into a festive haven where each child will receive a brand-new, cuddly, and sustainable gift.
This year, Santa’s House Express introduces several exciting new elements. Families will encounter a mischievous special guest in the Ice Cave, adding a playful twist to the journey. Additionally, all-new immersive digital experiences have been integrated into the event, providing an extra dose of enchantment and interactive fun for visitors of all ages.
After your visit with Santa, the adventure continues back at the Winter Wonderland Village, where the festive funfair is in full swing. Each child receives two complimentary ride tokens, ensuring smiles and laughter all around. The village also features a selection of delicious holiday treats and winter warmers, perfect for indulging in the season’s flavours.
