Visit Santa, Mrs. Claus and the Reindeer at The Old Courthouse, Kildare Town, R51 HC78

What is the Experience?

Santa Reindeer hospital opens in Kildare every year, when Santa and Mrs Claus visit to host a meeting with vets from around the World. This meeting considers, how best to look after the Reindeers. Santa and Mrs Claus deliberately chose Kildare because of its outstanding reputation of having the best large animal vets working around the Curragh.

Much like the Thoroughbred horses, Santa's Reindeers need to be looked after very well in order to keep pace with the many demands for delivery on Christmas Eve. Santa and Mrs Claus really enjoy the visit and relish the opportunity to meet young children in their drawing room. The drawing room is a pandoras box of some of the more popular toys that Santa has delivered over the years, indeed many Mammy's & Daddy's are tickled pink to see toys that they would have received as little children.

Santa is busy at his desk going through the huge number of letters he receives while Mrs Claus sits by the fire knitting gifts for the elves. The room is a nostalgic capsule of a classic traditional Christmas in a friendly setting that emulates a visit to favoured grandparents or grand aunties or uncles.

Before leaving, children have an opportunity to meet some of Santa's baby reindeer that are stabled in the yard.
