We’ve entered the ‘ber months, which means that Christmas is ever so slowly ring ting tingling towards us. And we’ve already got something to look forward to, with the return of Melbourne’s Christmas Wonderland. Back by popular demand, this immersive Christmas event will feature multiple themed zones, your favourite festive characters and plenty of fun activities. You’ll find it under the Big Top at Caulfield Racecourse from Friday November 29 to Tuesday December 24.
Melbourne’s Christmas Wonderland
Step through the giant gates and embark on a magical walk through this festive space. Say hello to Santa, take photos with the big man himself, write him a letter at the North Pole Post Office and see what he’s up to in Santa Land. The Elves will be busy in their workshop, and they’ll help you make a special craft item to take home.
Decorate reindeer antlers and a Christmas ornament in the Christmas Craft Village, and decorate your own sweet treat at Mrs Claus’ Bakery.
Play in Snow Land, and slide down into a massive pit with over 100,000 balls. Let out some energy on the jumping castles, and go roller skating around the rink. There will also be carnival games, children’s rides and a 30 minute circus show to enjoy.
If you need some energy, there will be a selection of both hot and cold food available, as well as drinks.
Sessions run for three hours, and event activities are best for children aged 10 and under. Children under 3 can enter for free.
