Christmas for Junior Guests
Christmas is traditionally a time for children and our junior guests will truly experience all the joy of Christmas from the moment they arrive at Great Southern Killarney. Children will be greeted with an interactive junior check-in and will begin their Christmas sojourn with their own special children’s afternoon tea. The excitement will grow as they enter their bedroom to find a Christmas tree aglow and perfectly poised for Santa Claus’ visit! Junior guests prepare for the arrival of Santa Claus by creating their very own Santa treat tray to bring back to lay beneath their tree to ensure that Santa receives a proper welcome and Rudolph & team enjoy some crunchy carrots. Early to bed (no doubt!) on Christmas Eve to allow for all the excitement of Santa’s arrival.
After the delight of gift giving on Christmas morning, junior guests enjoy a delicious Christmas lunch and the afternoon is full of thrills with a surprise visit from Santa Claus himself. Father Christmas will arrive full of fun and laden with gifts for the children and each child will be made to feel extra special as they will receive a gift unique to them. On Stephen’s Day junior guests will be amazed by an afternoon full of excitement as the family departs on a mystery tour of Killarney. On return a little tasty sustenance for all the family. As if that is not enough to keep little ones entertained, our junior guests will also have access to Great Southern Killarney’s playroom throughout their stay.
