St Columbs Park Londonderry reviews by real event-goers

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

Was very expensive for all that was there a Santa Mrs Claus and Grinch to get a pic with the rest was lit up stuff. Everything like this is free in town so don't understand what the money was for. I paid for 4 adults 2 kids but unfortunately 2 adults couldn't come due to sickness but wasn't refunded? Wouldn't go again.

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

Was really well presented and a great time was had by all. Credit to the Grinch, he was fantastic!
Maybe a tad expensive considering after paying the entrance fee you had to pay for the amusements.
Have recomnended to friends.

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

Our overall experience at St.Columbs Magic Kingdom was very disappointing. We arrived with our two grandchildren for our 8 o ‘clock slot and spent 45 minutes at the funfair .Everything shut down around 8.50 and we didn’t get a chance to follow the trail. There was no information at all provided from staff about access to the trail or closing times etc. It was very highly priced for what we experienced on the night and our grandchildren was very disappointed. Would definitely not recommend and was not worth the money.

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

overpriced. forest walk took 15 mins to do and the fair ground was more money again and the ground was full of puddles and there was not much choice for food

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

We really enjoyed the walking around, the beautiful lights and the lovely staff and kids loved the amusements at the end. Only downfall was the weather but we made the best of it.

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

I'm going to leave the cost to one side so I can speak impartially on the rest. It was a lovely family experience, we have a tween and Its hard to find things we can still do as a family that we all enjoy and I have to say he thoroughly enjoyed himself. The walk had some really nice pieces, especially the interactive frog and the light tunnel! There was a nice selection of fair rides that had something to suit all ages and the animatronics were really nice. The stalls were a welcome break from the norm with some really good quality food and high quality gift/keepsake selections. All the staff were really friendly and helpful and even though it was raining the whole time we still left with a smile on our faces. So thank you :)
The price is really the biggest and only real gripe I have. It cost just over £50 for 3 of us and I don't think that it is worth that for what's included in the price. I definitely think the Council should support this project financially in order to help bring the price down. It would be far more accessible especially with the cost of living situation and it is worth seeing! (just not at that price) I just think that Derry sees this kind of spectacle for free multiple times a year, e.g, Halloween and charging sooo much left a bad taste

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

We as a family we visit St.Columbs Park all year round and found it very disappointing that we were charged £42 to walk around at this time of year!

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

I think this is overpriced for what it is. I think £5 an adult and £2.50 a child would be much more reasonable considering that all the funfair and stalls then cost money.

When the enchanted gardens in Antrim first opened the tickets were £2 each or possibly free. They have free ballon models, free crafts, free face paints and free make your own reindeer food.

St Columbs had none of this. I understand that it’s the first year but it could be so much better than it is: there are loads of things that should be added to make it value for money.

It’s also incredibly mucky, there needs to be a better layout or more protection on the ground.

The characters were excellent, we enjoyed interacting with the grinch, Santa and most of all Mrs Claus.

I also think more atmosphere is needed, bring in the local choirs to add some Christmas music.

This could be an excellent annual event but it needs a lot of work to get there.

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

For the price we paid I kinda expected more. the lights were beautiful but once we hit the wled garden we were like is that it! only for Mrs Claus talking to my daughter there was no interaction from the santa out in the grounds. a simple hello,what's your name, what are you hoping for would have been nice.. again the santa in the cabin was nice but no interaction at all. the fairground was good but 3 tokens each per ride!! bit disappointed that we choose this as our santa experience this year.

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

Thought it was very overpriced for what was on offer. Santa was just standing outside and the kids didn't even get a selection box from him.

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

Much too expensive for what it was. The only thing the children really enjoyed was the funfair which was also very expensive. We visited Christmas Drive earlier in the week which was free and the children loved it.

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

Really so great but just need to make clear dogs aren’t allowed!

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

It had potential but was too small. The walled garden was disappointing. The night we attended (thursday 15th) it was so slippy with ice and one man ran round with a single bag of sand sprinkling it over the paths. The place should have been properly salted. It was dangerous

Review of St Columbs Magic Kingdom

was just lights to look at and 5 characters. Mrs Clause was the best. The Grinch looked as if he didn't want to be there. was expecting a lot more due to the prices. won't be back next year.
