Will the Real Santa please stand up?
Get ready for some festive fun this Christmas at EPIC!
It’s been a while, but Santa is making his grand return to EPIC for Christmas 2024, and this year he’s not alone.
Gone is the classic Christmas grotto; instead, the whole family will have to go on an adventure-filled hunt through the museum to find the Real Santa amongst a series of cunning imposters. The ‘Bad Santas’ are out to trick you, so you’ll have to work together if you ever hope to find the real deal in time for Christmas Day.
Venue:- EPIC – The Irish Emigration Museum, Custom House Quay, Co. Dublin
What’s Included:
- A special Santa Passport to take on their adventure.
- A series of magic Christmas-themed questions that only the true Santa would know the answer to.
- An exclusive “I Found the Real Santa” sticker at the end of the quest.
- A polaroid selfie with Santa to remember the experience.
Here at EPIC, we believe every Christmas should have its own unique memory, and our brand new Santa hunt is a fun and fresh activity designed to get the whole family involved, and to especially engage our young visitors. You won’t find anything else quite like it in Dublin this festive season.
Tickets won’t last long, so don’t delay on booking!
Important Note
The hunt takes place throughout the museum and is suitable for children 4 years and above. During your visit to the museum your child will meet a variety of ‘Bad Santas’ (Rock Star Santa, Pirate Santa…). These ‘Santas’ will engage with visitors but will be clearly not the real Santa. At the end of your visit you will meet the Real Santa who children will have the opportunity to engage with along with the chance for a quick photo. Each child will receive a ‘I met the Real Santa’ sticker, no gifts or professional photo included.
We invite you to come and make this festive activity a part of your museum visit! Bring your family and enjoy the challenge of finding the real Santa—it’s sure to be a memorable part of your day.
Tickets are non-refundable. If you wish to change the date/time contact us on +353 (0)1 906 0861. Please note these changes are subject to availability and are made at our discretion.
