About

Join us at Christmas Island for festive fun and an unforgettable and unique Christmas experience!
 
Your experience will include an exciting journey on The North Pole Express, a trip to Christmas Island where you’ll meet the Elves, get your family photo taken in Santa’s giant red sleigh (don’t forget your camera). In the second dome you will have fun with the Elves who love dancing/singing. You will then depart Christmas Island on Santa’s giant sleigh boat headed to see the big man himself in Santa’s Grotto.
 
If you’re good and paying attention, then you may even see Rudolph!
 
All adults and children will take a ride on The North Pole Express (Santa’s magical white train)
All children will receive a gift & sweet treat from Santa.
There will be lots of magical photo opportunities!!
 
Poster competition
Don’t forget to print off and colour/decorate your Colouring-Poster and bring with you on your scheduled day. Don’t be afraid to get creative! The winning poster will be posted to our Christmas Island Facebook page on December 24th.

Getting there

From Dublin (1 hour)…
Follow the N11 South to the R772 for Rathnew and Wicklow. At the roundabout in Rathnew, follow signs towards R752 for Rathdrum (approx 12 minutes from Rathnew). There is a bad bend on arrival into Rathdrum. The entrance for Christmas Island is on your right after this bad bend. If you’ve passed Glanbia, then you’ve gone too far.
 
From Wexford (1 hr and 30 minutes)…
Follow the N11 North to the R752 for Rathnew and Rathdrum. Follow all the roundabouts for Rathdrum. At the t-intersection, turn left onto the R752. It will take you approximately 12 minutes from here to get to the park. There is a bad bend on arrival into Rathdrum. The entrance for Christmas Island is on your right after this bad bend. If you’ve passed Glanbia, then you’ve gone too far.
 
From Wexford, passing through Avoca (1 hr and 30 minutes)…
This is another option, but the roads are not as smooth and the signs are not well posted!
Take the N11 North to the Arklow South exit. This brings you into Arklow town. Turn left and follow the road down into town. When you get to the roundabout, go straight through it. This road turns into the R747. Take the R747 to the R752. You will pass the Woodenbridge Hotel, Avoca and then Meeting of the Waters. Keep going straight and you will come into Rathdrum. Follow the road down the hill. There will be a petrol station on your left. At the bottom of the hill cross over the bridge, passing Glanbia on your right, and the entrance for Christmas Island is your next left.
