Dalkey Castle Christmas with Santa

The Dalkey Castle Christmas Experience with Santa is full of fun, stories, singing and games.

Get into the Christmas spirit by practicing Santa’s favourite song with Jingle. See what food the reindeers eat and the tiny treats for the elves. Tell Twinkle what goodies you will leave out for Santa and the reindeers.

The highlight, needless to say, is the appearance of the celebrity himself- Santa Claus! The children will help Santa get his ‘Ho Ho Ho’ back. Will all the children be on his nice list? Oh Yes, they will!

The experience lasts approx. forty minutes and no queuing involved. There is an age-appropriate gift for each child.
