In the heart of cuskinny where the wild woods grow…
…lies a twinkling secret the world ought to know.
A place full of laughter, of cheer and delight,
The Cork North Pole Outpost springs to life every night!


Come along to Cork’s North Pole Outpost
Where Christmas cheer is cranked up to Mariah Carey levels and the Cork elves are definitely running the show (with your help of course!). Hidden away in the enchanted woods of Cuskinny Court, Cobh, this immersive, giggle-filled theatrical experience whisks families off on a magical journey through Santa’s top-secret outpost. Meet delightfully daft elves, stir up some mischief in Mrs. Claus’s kitchen, learn essential elf skills (like giggling professionally) and elftastic elfgineering.
“This is simply fantastic all the staff and actors are brilliant. They play their roles excellently are engaging and fun adults and kids alike all beaming. The story and the organisation is excellent throughout.
By far the best Santa experience I’ve ever seen. my 2 kids absolutely loved it start to finish. Highly recommend.”Fiona McGinley – Google Reviewer

- Wrama 12/25/2024The team at The Cork North Pole Outpost are so professional. We've been taking our two girls there for a few years now and they always have a magical experience. I highly recommend the place. But please keep control of your toddlers when you go as it's not fair on the other families or on the staff if you let them run amok.read moreread lessAlan M. 12/09/2024One of the better Santa experiences we have been to. It felt like there was some actual thought and work put into the performances and they engaged really well with the kids. The cafe was pretty poor, probably the worst coffee I’ve had, very weak, items were overpriced, otherwise would have been a full 5 stars.read moreread less
- Kerry B. 11/25/2024A really great experience for the kids. The actors were good and the overall story was good for little kids.
Nieces have been going to this experience for years.
Unfortunately if there has been heavy rain and there are high tides, some of the roads can be flooded. So give yourself extra time to get there if there has been bad weatherread moreread lessFionn M. 11/23/2024This is simply fantastic all the staff and actors are brilliant.

We would highly recommend The Cork North Pole Outpost Experience to any family. Super variety, children interaction and a lovely Santa.

Not only a Santa visit- but a series of interactive theatrical performances. My kids were mesmerised ( us adults too). And a choice of toys for the kids at the end!

- Ashling D. 12/06/2019Absolutely incredible, we have been to Fota the last few years and it has nothing on the Cork North Pole Outpost Experience, we went this evening with our two girls and had the most amazing 2 hours, well worth what we paid for it too,
it starts off with a very reasonably priced hut shop/stop where you can buy snacks, we got an Elf made chocolate bar and some popcorn, our girls loved this and as parents we were delighted and surprised at not being fleeced on the price as it's the only food stall there. Our girls got to do some colouring while we waited which while a small gesture it was a very welcome one to pass the (short) waiting time.
we then met our elf who started us on our journey and tonight he was top notch, he had us relaxed and ready to scream/dance/sing/wiggle before we even started it (adults included and all which the children loved)
as we moved from room to room it was incredible the Elves really made our night and even helped our 3 year old partake so easily, she loved sorting the santa letters the best.
Mrs.Claus was incredibly patient and kind with the younger ones some of whom were particular about that part of the experience, and she got our shy 3 year old involved which we were impressed with.
Mr. Claus was WONDERFUL, my 3 year old actually spoke to him and went up to him and sat for a photo with him, we got our first christmas photo where she wasn't crying! and as for my skeptical 10 year old....she walked out saying he was the real deal, and they both loved and really appreciated the surprise at the end, The Santa presents were brilliant too, this is definately an idea all the others should use because it worked PERFECTLY. CNPOE just hit's all the right notes.
We left with 2 very happy children and 2 very very happy adults, was exactly what you would expect from a visit to Santa and well worth it's price. Our only regret is we didn't make the switch sooner.read moreread lessIga S. 12/01/2019We've visited the North Pole earlier today and I was blown away by how cool this place is! Both 9yo and 2yo loved it! The characters were brilliant, there is few rooms with different activities to suit everyone. Beautiful decorations - I regret not taking my camera! Great experience 🙂read moreread less - Oisin G. 12/18/2017We went with our 9 year old daughter and we all really enjoyed the day filled with lots of fun laughter and happiness. Santa, Mrs Claus and all the Elves were a big hit with our daughter and it was wonderful to see her face light up with all the Christmas cheer that was there. A great experience!read moreread lessJennifer A. 12/16/2017Absolutely elftastic! 90 mins of full throttle Christmas spirit in a fairy light bedecked cinnamon and ginger scented beautiful Georgian house in the woods with Santa's best Cork elves and helpers. Totally faultless night with the kiddies. Book early before it sells out.read moreread less
- MARION O. 12/04/2017What an amazing awesome wonderful experience. The whole time we were there was magical. Everything is so real I came away definitely with the Christmas magic. The children are entertained inspiried and given a wonderful attitude towards Christmas and the giving of love and kindness. Fantastic worth every penny.read moreread less
- Europa E. 12/01/2017Outstanding experience! Still buzzing from it, the kids had a fabulous time! The entire experience was a triumph of theatre, atmosphere and organisation. The core message of the experience was pertinent and moving. This, when combined with the actors' performances and the ambience of the setting, created an unforgettable experience which for me, made Christmas. Really happy with our trip here today. Can't recommend this highly enough! Everybody should go!!!read moreread less
