Published on: 15 November 2025

There’s something truly magical about Christmas at The Jungle. Nestled in the heart of Northern Ireland’s lush countryside, our award-winning outdoor adventure centre transforms into a sparkling festive wonderland each winter. We can’t wait to welcome you and your family!

This year, create unforgettable memories at Christmas Wonderland. It’s a joyful mix of festive fun, cosy traditions, and exciting outdoor adventure. The experience is ideal for families with kids of all ages!

❄️ What Is Christmas Wonderland?

Christmas Wonderland is so much more than a Santa visit. It is a fully immersive festive experience from start to finish. From your first warm welcome by our cheerful elves to the final marshmallow toasted by the fire, every moment has been designed to make the season extra special.

You’ll enjoy a heartwarming stage show, a magical haycart ride through our vast site and enchanting woodland, and a personal visit with Santa Claus. There’s also storytelling with Mrs Claus, festive treats to enjoy, outdoor play that adds a bit of adventure to your day, and much more!

To help your day run smoothly, here’s exactly what you can expect during your visit to Christmas Wonderland:

If you are travelling from the Moneymore direction, the car park will be on the right-hand side. If you are coming from the Desertmartin direction, it will be on the left-hand side. Signage and helpful staff will guide you in the right direction.

Once you arrive, our friendly elves will be ready to greet you at the marquee. They will help you get checked in and ready for your festive adventure.

3. Enjoy a Festive Drink and Snack

4. Watch the Farmyard Stage Show

Make your way to the farmyard to enjoy a live performance filled with Christmas cheer. This family-friendly show, which runs every 30 minutes, is packed with music, fun, and laughter. Just make sure you don’t miss your Santa slot!
