De aanpak van Tripadvisor met betrekking tot beoordelingen
Voordat Tripadvisor-beoordelingen geplaatst worden, gaan ze door een geautomatiseerd trackingsysteem dat informatie verzamelt en de volgende vragen beantwoordt: hoe, wat, waar en wanneer. Als het systeem iets detecteert dat potentieel in tegenspraak is met onze communityrichtlijnen, dan wordt de beoordeling niet gepubliceerd.
Wanneer het systeem een probleem detecteert, wordt een beoordeling mogelijk automatisch afgekeurd, naar de junior bijdrager gestuurd voor goedkeuring, of handmatig beoordeeld door ons team van contentspecialisten die 24/7 aan de kwaliteit van de beoordelingen op onze website werken.
Ons team controleert elke beoordeling die op onze website geplaatst wordt en volgens onze bezoekers niet aan onze communityrichtlijnen voldoet.

Santa train extremely disappointing and pricey for what we got compared to last year 2022.Will not go again. Very short show put on. Train experience grand. No free outdoor rides like last year. Each child got 2 rides on teacups etc. Presents should have been wrapped. Free tea or coffee for adults also for the price we paid. We love Rathwood over all but Santa Train Experience bad.

An absolutely amazing experience!!
Lovely little coffee shop, with playcentre and then fairground (3 rides) for the kids, beautiful and well lit journey through the enchanted forest, elf entertainment in the big top with music and dancing, with a visit to santa to finish it off.
Lots of parking spaces , well run and no long queues.. Will definitely be back next year !!!

Feeling very disappointed. I've been to many Santa experiences over the last 10 years or more, including Rathwood some years ago, but I would no longer recommend. Upon entering a room and waiting for the train, there were elves painting faces, but there was a lack of atmosphere, no activities, or even Christmas music for the children waiting. The train ride lacked ambiance and music. We were let out in front of the tent for the show. There is some waiting here as they have to fill the tent, that's to be expected. The show, although short, was good. After the show we were asked to move to the side of the tent for presents, this was the 'toy factory', there elfs slide down unwrapped presents down a small slope, you picked up and walked out of the tent but due to the queues behind you, no consideration was given to the children's ages for appropriate toy selection. My two kids were disappointed as they received "baby toys."
Meeting Santa was also organised, as your just called in and he didn't know the children's names or have any gifts. The cabin lacked atmosphere, but Santa himself was friendly, though the experience felt more like a quick photo opportunity. Back on the train to return to the cafe, where there was a lengthy wait to get hot chocolate for the kids as it the main cafe where you get it. Interestingly, the extra photo we paid for was after the entire experience. Overall, it felt rushed and impersonal for the children. The show and the setting were lovely however without the atmosphere its did'nt have an magical feeling of Christmas at all.

Went to the Santa Train event yesterday. Drove from Dublin and back and disappointed to not have read reviews before going. What a disappointment.
Have been to many Santa events and this was a real let down. It felt very rushed and just herding people in and out.
No introduction or pre group talk from an Elf or similar to get everyone in the Christmas spirit, straight on the train for a total of 2 minutes max, no music,no atmosphere etc. Just told to get off Train.
Show in all fairness was good so a great job to everyone. After it finished, kids sent over to get their unwrapped gifts, again no excitment or atmosphere..out of the tent and nobody showing you were to go for Santa. All felt like it was just for the sake of it.
Made our way to queue outside, queue inside and 30 seconds with Santa. Into the cafe we went, two kids in our group wanted to go to the indoor play area, 8 euro a child!! Unreal after paying for the Santa experience.
Off we drove home grateful for seeing our family who came but so disappointed at the experience. Never again. This sort of thing just leaves a bad taste in your mouth as felt so materialistic. Frustrated we spent 140 eur on tickets. The world has gone mad.

We have been to Rathwood many times throughout the years and used to be a magical place for children and adults to the santa experience we went on Saturday 2nd of December arrived to no entertainment for the children like there was every other year, train driver drove far far too fast I could hear many families saying the sane thing, we waited in a Q for santa for over a hour to see him not bothered and rushed out the door. Food was expensive and took ages to be served and to arrive and it was thrown onto a plate. . We will never return to any event in Rathwood. Such a pity we would of gone every year.

Shocking experience the kids didn't even get to see santa the wait was far too long out in the freezing cold . The elves gave out presents not wrapped and my grandson was 6 months old didn't even get a present . I will never go again . Avoid this place if possible money grabbing farce

Hi, Is it advisable to go in the train when it goes dark or in the day time is good. Thanks

The day time train is for the teddybear picnic, the night time train rides are in December for the Christmas season. Both are lovely and child friendly.
Does the entry fee cover the cost of making a teddy bear or is it extra?

Hi there unfortunately I did not have any kids so not sure however I would very much believe that the cost of making a bear would be extra

I have only been in it once and as far as I remember the shops plus restaurant area are all on the flat. We did go for a walk round outside with the kids but I cant remember if it would be accessible for people with disabilities. Perhaps give them a ring?

This amenity is extremely suitable for people with disabilities. The walks are all level and so there would be no difficulty for wheelchairs or people of reduced fitness. Well recommended.

Hi
The teddy bear picnic is definitely for more younger children I have did both. But Jack Frost and the Elves make it much more interesting for the older kids. My son loved Jack Frost and his trick acting. My 10 year still believes and maybe that’s why he likes it.
Hope this helps

Just booked the Santa train for this year 😀 my kids are 8 , 12 and 14 ... didn't want to leave anyone out so we're all going .. but reading some of the reviews maybe I'm better off making other arrangements for the older two ?? Is it really just for very young kids ? Any advise welcome .. also what are the gifts Santa gives to kids like ?

Hi
My kids are 10 and 6 and this is our second year going. My friend goes every year and she had a 16 year who never misses it.
I really found it enjoyable last year the Elves make everyone laugh.
I Hope when my 10 year is 14 he will still want to come.
Hope this helps
