Hi
I am Based in Galway and looking to bring the 2 kids to visit Santa. However every place I look at is really expensive. E.g. elf town is 35 per kid and 20 per adult
other options are Bunratty, wildlands, brigits gardens but again all relatively expensive.
been to Turoe per farm and loughweil before.

any other recommendations?

Looking at options myself, but either things are booked out or too far away. McGaughs Garden Centre have a drive through Santa but remaining booking times arent the best, most are quite late in the evening

Thanks. Do you essentially stay in the car the whole time and just get to say hello

or can you get out for a picture with the big man

The whole visiting Santa thing is that.
Santa visits ya, at home, if you've been good late on the night of 24 December, and also on 6 December if you're Polish.
Anything else is fake-Santa.

I think OP is looking for recommendations rather than whining about whether it's good or not. People can spend their money as they choose.

OP, I've heard first hand Wildlands is good. No idea on prices though.

Wildlands seems to be completely booked out since a few weeks ago. Same for Loughwell.
