Avoid the last-minute rush by pre-booking your Santa photos early this year – if you can. Bookings will be essential at most of the popular venues and we’d hate for you to miss out! Here’s a list below of where you can take the kids for their Santa photos in Adelaide this year.
Santas Wonderland
If you’re visiting Santa’s Wonderland this year, (and if you’re not you should be!) before you go jump onto their website and pre book your Santa photos.
Choose from a range of professional Santa photo packages and if you pre-purchase a photo pack online when you buy your entry ticket you will guarantee an appointment time with Santa. You can upgrade to premium packs or purchase additional photo products on the day of your visit.

SCREAMING. SCARED. SENSORY OVERLOAD. All these things shouldn't be associated with Santa but sometimes they are for sensitive little souls. The music is too loud, the crowds to noisy, the lines too long, the lights too bright and then the Santa experience turns into meltdown and the magic experience is gone.... sound familiar? Thanks to several organisations Sensory Santa is becoming a great choice from 9-5 Santa and allowing the magic to happen when it needs a little help. Kids in Adelaide have done the work to provide you updates on where Sensory Santa's will be and when! Check out this page for continuous updates as we find them. You can stop by the Christmas Wonderland at the Westfield Centres before surrounding stores open, so everyone can enjoy their special moment with Santa in a comfortable and calm environment. Book your Santa photo time slot online and skip the queue. Children that meet Santa and have a photo taken with him will receive a wearable gift, either a cute reindeer or elf headband.
