Santa Photography Sessions on offer
Family and Friends sessions
Christmas is more magical with our loved ones, so get together with your friends, family, sports teams, school groups, work crew and any other loved ones to create a memory to last a lifetime.
We’ve made it easy with an online booking system offering a range of photo session times and a photo package to suit every size group and every budget.
Sensitive Santa
Not every elf loves the hustle and bustle. We’re here to make sure everyone gets their time with Santa this Christmas with our Sensitive Santa option.
Join us for our Sensitive Santa experience where families can have a photo taken in a relaxed environment, tailored to children with sensory challenges. These calm and comfortable photography sessions take place before stores open when the centre is quieter to create a relaxed and sensory-friendly Santa experience.
Note: Online bookings are essential for Sensitive Santa photography sessions.
Pet Photography
The whole family means the whole family.Why should your four-legged family members miss out on all the fun? Bring them along for a Santa photo this Christmas.
Dress-ups are welcomed, so dress your pet in their best festive outfit to create the paw-fect Christmas memory to cherish for years to come.
Auslan Santa
Christmas wishes should speak everyone’s language.
This year we’re proud to offer an Auslan Santa session for children who use Auslan as their primary form of communication, the chance to share their Christmas wish list directly with an Auslan-fluent Santa.
When: Saturday 21st November 2-4pm
Note: Online bookings are essential for our Auslan Santa photography session. We apologise that we may not be able to accommodate all families this year and hope to offer more in 2027.

- Owner/s must be responsible for their pet at all times.

- In the event that any animal exhibits aggressive behaviour, we will ask that they are removed from the centre.
- Owner/s must wait at the designated entrance, outside of the centre, prior to your allocated booking time. At the time of your booking, a staff member will meet you at the designated entrance and escort you to the Santa photography set. Pets must be brought into the centre on a lead or in a cage.

Which pets are allowed?
- Most pets are welcome, including dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals
- Centre management may at its discretion, remove any animals from the centre.
If you choose to park elsewhere in the centre and need to use an escalator or travelator, please follow the safety guidelines below to keep your pet safe.
Using Escalators or Travelators with Pets:
- Do not place pets directly on escalators or travelators.
Escalator steps, comb plates and moving parts can cause serious injury to animals’ paws, nails and tails. - Always carry your pet when using an escalator. If your pet is too heavy to carry safely please use lifts instead.
- Keep leads short and controlled.
Retractable leads must be locked at a short length. Long or extended leads can become caught in escalator mechanisms or create a tripping hazard. - Maintain close supervision at all times.
Your pet must remain beside you, not ahead or behind, while moving through the centre. - Avoid letting pets walk near escalator entry or exit points.
- Always hold your pet securely as you step on and off.
If You Cannot Safely Carry Your Pet
Please use the lift in the Purple undercroft car park. This is the safest option for pets who cannot be carried.
