Isle of Doagh/Lapland closed this year any other ideas

facingthefuture

We have been taking our kids to visit Santa here for years and since it is closed this year due to major renovations - where do we go? This place, though it had certain similarities to Craggy Island, it was considered the real deal by our two.
Please can anyone tell me of somewhere else as good?

for the past couple of years i have been taking brother in law (age 8) niece (age 5) and now daughter (15 months) to see santa at the zoo. Its a great day. they have loads of activities like wrapping fruit and then giving them to the monkeys and arts and crafts and then they see santa and get a present and a photo. It fills up a good chunk of the day and its better than a shopping centre standing in a queue for hours. its £6.50 per child then usual admission on top. http://www.belfastzoo.co.uk/newsandevents/eventsitem.aspx?id=33b and remember to wrap up warm.

we have booked to go and see santa in Castle Ward this year. We went last year and it was great. The places are filling up quickly though so you would have to book soon :j
