Santa Claus is setting up his southern hemisphere study at Tāmaki Paenga Hira Auckland War Memorial Museum, bringing a touch of North Pole magic to Tāmaki Makaurau this holiday season.
From Saturday 22 November to Sunday 21 December, families can visit Santa’s Study at Auckland Museum to meet the man in red, take photos, and share their Christmas wishes. The cosy space, complete with festive décor and twinkling lights, will be open on weekends from 9.15AM to 4.30PM, offering an enchanting new way for Aucklanders to experience the season.
Because he’s travelling light, he doesn’t have his photographic gear, so make sure you bring your own phone or camera if you’d like to capture the moment. Santa’s chief elf will be on hand to help or take an ’elfie.
Beyond Santa’s Study, Auckland Museum will be alive with festive sights and sounds throughout November and December. The four-metre tall Grand Foyer Christmas Tree returns as a sparkling centrepiece to seasonal celebrations, alongside a North Pole Mailbox where children can post their wish lists straight to Santa himself.
Each weekend, families can take part in free Festive Whānau Weekends featuring Christmas crafts, choir performances, and holiday fun for all ages.
