Visit Father Christmas and his Elves at Ulster American Folk Park

About

The North Pole elves are busy getting things ready and spreading festive cheer wherever they go. Did you know that only children who truly believe in Christmas magic can see the elves? They aren’t so fond of grown-ups! 

Take in the magic of Christmas with a stroll through the snowy streets of Ulster and America. Let one of our elves guide you to the magical home of Father Christmas and Mrs Claus to say hello, and if you’re on the good list this year, you might even receive a special, traditional gift to bring home!

While you’re here, meet the Chief Story Elf for Christmas storytelling, get hands-on with Christmas crafts, try tasty samples in Mrs Claus' Bakery and take a Horse & Carriage ride.
