While children go down through narrow passages deep into the earth, guided by elves, to meet Santa and see his busy workshops,Mrs Claus, ever hospitable, is standing by to welcome the adults with mulled wine and mince pies. Afterwards the Santa Train will whisk you away to the Birds of Prey Centre where the winter highlight is the resident Snowy Owl.
Tickets for Christmas at Ailwee invariably sell out, so book in advance at the website.
