Sensory Santa at Winterval 2025 – A Calm and Inclusive Christmas Experience

Winterval 2025, Waterford
Welcome to Sensory Santa.
We know that new environments can sometimes feel overwhelming, so we want to help you and your family feel as comfortable and prepared as possible.
Below is a preview of Santa’s Grotto, created especially with sensory-friendly accommodations in mind. You’ll see the calm lighting, quiet space, and gentle festive touches your child will experience during their visit.
We hope this helps your family feel confident and familiar before you arrive.
We can’t wait to share a peaceful, magical moment with you!
