We went to Santa in the Titanic Centre last year, he was fab. Lots of activities to do on the way in to see Santa, elves, post a letter, story time etc

Does anyone from Belfast remember the Santa ride in Anderson and McAuleys at the top of Royal Avenue? We were taken there as kids in the 1970s and it was the best Santa experience ever.

If you have the transport I would advise get tickets now for Santa's polar express at the Slieve Donard Hotel in Newcastle -about 45 min drive but AMAZING! I've been to Santa at lots of places (including Harrods) and this is really first class! You won't be disappointed... think they have a video on the link www.santapolarexpress.com/

Santas cottage in Hilltown if u have transport. The one in victoria square is the most real looking one tho still is essentially a shopping centre visit.

Ive never done slieve donard one, is it really amazing? We done the one in Millford last year and it wasnt great tho went to charity

The Slieve Donard one is something else... you go on a train ride from the Percy French with conductors from the polar express then elves meet you at the hotel and take you inside.... there's a cottage where Mrs.Santa tells a story and then there's a carousel ride where children can also write to Santa, then they go to see Santa (he's amazing) then after they have an activity room where children can make gingerbread, have nails painted, do drawing etc etc then you go through and get hot chocolates and there's a little rollercoaster outside....
It's an experience -this was last year so they may change the setup each year but worth booking early as it sells out quickly.
