Passport to Christmas at the Irish National Stud & Gardens

Come to the Irish National Stud & Gardens for Passport to Christmas: where children collect passport stamps through activities in the Christmas Village, leading to a visit with Santa! Enjoy fairground rides, tasty treats, and many photo opportunities…

Grab your very own Christmas Passport at check-in and begin your family Christmas adventure! Once you have made your way to our elves and other Christmas surprises, each child will receive special stamps for their passport. These stamps will give them access through Passport Control to the final destination – meeting Santa! While Santa is doing his final checks before Christmas, he will welcome you and ask what you want for Christmas. Santa will be amazed that you were able to find him in “The North Pole” and will give each child a token gift for being on the nice list!

What to Expect:

Elf Village

Explore the Elf Workshops in the stables, which will include tasks for children to complete. Once a task is finished, they are awarded a stamp for their passport.

The North Pole

After passport control, you will be one step closer to meeting Santa Claus! Walk through The North Pole and search for Santa’s stable.

Fair Ground & Food Stalls

Families can enjoy some fair ground rides and browse food vans from trusted partners after their visit with Santa.

Illuminated Walk

The peak tickets include the option to soak up some more Christmas atmosphere around St. Fiachra’s Garden, where you can enjoy our immersive illumination experience.
