Reindeer, snowy owls, and even arctic foxes are ready to steal the show at the spot in Burnfoot, Donegal.

But that’s not all, this unique event includes a host of activities guaranteed to get everyone in the Christmas spirit.

Santa, Mrs. Claus, and their team of cheerful elves will be on hand to greet visitors, with each child receiving a gift from Santa Claus himself to take home.

For an extra special treat, parents can purchase photos with the man in red to capture the moment forever.

Children and adults alike can climb aboard Ireland’s first-ever Virtual Reality Sleigh Ride for a magical trip around the North Pole.

Fancy getting creative? Step into the Gingerbread Making Workshop, where you can whip up your very own festive treats to take home.

As day turns to night, a breathtaking Christmas lights display will illuminate the park, adding an extra sprinkle of seasonal magic.

And if all that festive fun leaves you feeling peckish, hot food will be served at the Wild Café.

Adults can even enjoy a complimentary mulled wine with their ticket – or a non-alcoholic option if they prefer.

Tickets include access to all these activities, but the experience has a strict schedule.


The Wild Arctic Event begins at 3pm, and visitors are encouraged to arrive on time for their chosen slot.

Organisers suggest allowing one to two hours to take in everything on offer.

For those who wish to visit earlier, the park will be open for regular admission from 10am to 2pm.

However, some areas will remain closed during the festive event, and animal sightings cannot be guaranteed.

The Irish Christmas experience promises a magical journey to remember, so book now to secure your spot.

This event is sure to sell out, so don’t miss your chance to enjoy a truly wild Arctic adventure.

Although there is a few things to remember if you are visiting the park.

Wild Ireland is an outdoor facility and they suggest that you dress according to the weather. 

Wellies are not required but high heels are definitely not permitted! 

The price of tickets vary, with adult tickets costing €20 each, and children’s tickets (ages 2-15) cost €27.50.

While toddlers under 23 months will only cost €14.50 each.

The Christmas experience, and Santa visits will run from November 29 up to December 23.
