Peninsula's Best Santa Photo Locations for 2019

Christmas is coming, so that means Santa is coming to town. Santa photos are a time-honoured tradition in most household’s and this year is no exception. Whether you’re after a Santa with a real beard, a particular colour themed backdrop or a Santa that is patient and kind, the Santa’s of the Peninsula have you covered. 

Local Shopping Centre

Almost all local shopping centres offer photo opportunities with Santa. Santa will return to 

Rosebud Plaza from November 30 and Mornington Central from December 9. But if you don’t mind travelling, we’ve heard great things in the past about the Santa at Parkmore Shopping Centre.

Department Stores

Large department stores like Harvey Norman, David Jones, Myer and Ikea often have a beautiful display. With some stores offering free photos during selected times, although you may need to wait a few days for your photo to be processed.

Pet Stores

Santa photos aren’t just for kids so why not take your beloved pet to meet Santa for a photo? PetStock from November 23, Beleura Veterinary Hospital on selected dates in November and Petorium Pet Warehouse on December 7.

Santa train

In an extra special series of events, Santa is set to return the Mornington Railway. Join Santa on a one-hour return train ride from Moorooduc station throughout December. On top of the train ride, you’ll be able to experience jumping castles, Christmas tree decorating, plaster painting and some amazing photo opportunities with Santa.

With a special mention to Myer Christmas Windows, they never fail to amaze us with their different themes. The theme for 2019 is May Gibbs’ Gumnut Babies and has already been unveiled for the season.
