Ulster American Folk Park

The Park is a great place to visit anytime but it was actually magical during the Santa Experience. Old Tymey Fun mixed with Christmas Magic & some delightful Elves to meet along the way.

We’ll done to the park & staff for providing so a wonderful experience for ...

Visited 03/01/2021 - booked online (gift aid tickets purchased to support) even though weather wasn’t great, the reception team and the indoor elements were great to start off the visit.

Both kids and adults will enjoy here. Plenty of picnic spots and the staff/cast are all really lovely and helpful.
