Santaville at Explorium

About the event

Santaville returns to Explorium, Ireland's National Science Centre in Sandyford. Ride Santa's Enchanted Elevator up to the North Pole, meet his elves and build your own teddy in Santa's workshop, then meet Santa himself for a photograph.

It runs Thursdays to Sundays from 19 November to 20 December 2026, then daily from 21 to 23 December, between 10am and 5pm. Some ticket options combine the Santa visit with Junior Explorium or the Science zone.

Prices for the Santa tickets are shown on Explorium's booking page. Explorium's usual free entry for under-2s is for general admission, so check the Santa ticket types for babies when you book.
