Santaland is a magical, winter wonderland filled with activities and things to explore.

Your adventure starts aboard the Santaland Express, as the life-size train takes shoppers of all ages on a virtual journey from Myer Central Station non-stop to Santaland. Take some fun photos in front of the green screen. You’ll be able to do some colouring, post a letter to Santa, and of course, meet Santa himself and take a magical family Christmas photo.
Tip: Don’t wear green if you want to get some great green screen photos.

A trip to Santaland isn’t complete without a visit to the Claus’ Residence for photos and a chat with Santa himself. And don’t forget to post your letter to Santa in the special mailbox and we’ll make sure it’s delivered to him.

Santaland bookings are free. If you would like to purchase the professional photos taken on the day, printed photo packages start at $27.50. You may also add-on a digital version of your photos for $12.95 with any printed package purchase.

Here’s some fun activities that are happening at Santaland this year – they really have thought of every member of the family!

  • Baby’s First Christmas: Perfect for parents who want to capture their baby’s first holiday season. This special photo session with Santa offers families a memorable way to mark this milestone.
  • Santa Paws: A unique opportunity for pet owners to bring their cats or dogs along for a festive photo with Santa. The elves are excited to welcome furry friends to join in the holiday fun!

Santa is pretty busy this time of the year so we do recommend making a booking as there will be very limited availability.
