Where real snow falls soft and magic fills the air, The Santa Express is back! Jump on board The Santa Express train and settle in for your journey through the enchanted forests of the North Pole. The railway track winds through beloved worlds like Candy Land and Toy Town, and past new wonders like the Frost Fountain and Snowdrop Glade, where snowflakes dance amongst the trees. Keep an eye out too for Santa’s starlit runway and the biggest Christmas tree in Ireland (hard to miss at 100 feet tall!) Your adventure continues at Santa’s cosy grotto, where he’s waiting with a warm smile and a special gift just for you. The elves have been curating new games and tricks to play with you too and there’s more than one surprise for you to discover inside the heated chalet. Explore the Christmas Village, filled with new places to visit and even more ways to use your Christmas tokens! Mrs. Claus is still hard at work in her bustling Post Office and can’t wait to welcome you. Over at the Holly Hut, Elf Cocoa is whipping up hot drinks to keep you toasty, and in the Treat Truck, Elf Potts has perfected Santa’s favourite cookie recipe. Tootsie’s Toyshop will be bursting with surprises and magical gifts including new mystery bags. Have you ever wondered how your Elf on The Shelf gets back and forth to the North Pole? With their very own Magic Door, of course. If you’re one of the lucky ones to host a nice Elf on the Shelf, give them a stylish send-off this Christmas with a custom-painted elf door from The Craft Cabin. This year, we’re excited to be opening up Santa’s Map Room, where you can sneak a peek behind the scenes and help Atlas the Elf prepare for Santa’s journey around the world. And for families who need a moment of calm, our Sensory Room has moved into a peaceful log cabin-a quiet space for anyone who needs it. Santa, Mrs. Claus and all the elves cannot wait to see you again and play in the real snow at The Santa Express 2026. Be sure to take photos at our many photo ops.
