Don’t miss the fun, Santa’s sleigh has come crashing into the Canberra Centre red hot for the silly season.
For the first time in almost a decade, Santa is returning for family photo’s available until Christmas Eve when Santa has to sneak off and get delivering pressies. Make sure you get along and let him know what’s on your wish list – he may even ask you if you’ve been naughty or nice. Find him sitting within his Enchanted Garden, located at the City Walk entrance, it’s the perfect backdrop for your Santa pic. You’ll feel the magic of this season with all the impressive Christmas displays on show at the Canberra Centre.
Take the kids, hurdle the family together, book your work team in or gather your girlfriends – you are never too old to sit on Santa’s lap. An online booking system is also available for those wanting to fast track the queue, making your Santa experience quick, easy and family-friendly.
In addition to Santa’s return, Canberra Centre is planning plenty of other fun for kids of all ages throughout the Christmas period. As part of festivities planned for Canberra’s CBD, Canberra Centre have worked closely with the City Renewal Authority on plans to enliven the centre of Canberra to celebrate the festive season, including the wonderful new ‘Merry & Bright – Christmas in Civic’ event.
