At Croke Park Stadium in Dublin: The Santa Experience at Croke Park 2026

During the Croke Park Santa Experience, you will join the Ice Patrol team, for an exclusive peek inside the North Pole GAA Elf Dressing Rooms, before entering their super Skills Zone, where you can play a ‘cool’ selection of fun, festive games. Then it will be time to step into Santa’s very special Croke Park cabin to meet the man himself. You can take a photo with Santa and tell him about your predictions for the 2026 GAA All-Ireland Championships!

Every child will receive a small gift, and photos will also be available to purchase, if you wish. During the Santa Experience, you will part of a group, and you will be joined by other people, but every ticket booking will have a chance to meet Santa for an individual photo. Photos can be purchased separately, or you are welcome to take your own pictures.

Tickets include access to the GAA Museum, where you can complete Cúchulainn’s Christmas Quest museum trail- find the answers to the clues and receive a prize for your excellent explorative efforts.

The Santa tour experience lasts 50 minutes and is wheelchair and buggy accessible. Allow 30 minutes for the GAA Museum North Pole GAA trail.

Free parking is available outside the GAA Museum, which is located on the Cusack Stand side of Croke Park.

For the last two time slots on each day, please visit the museum in advance of your Santa Experience.

It is recommended that you check the FAQ section and Terms and Conditions before making your booking.

Children 16 and under must be accompanied by an adult.
