Santa is coming to Taupō! Meet the big man in red and his elves, let him know what you would like for Christmas and have a festive family photo! The Taupō Santa Cave provides a fun, personal visit with Santa.

Location Confirmed: 36 Horomātangi St (formerly Wild South)

Your visit will cost just $10.00+GST, which includes a treat for the kids, a printed photo to take home and access to your photo online to download and share.

Online bookings are essential - no walk-ins will be accepted. Only one ticket per family/group is required (maximum of six people per ticket). If you are a group of seven or more, please book two tickets in the same session to allow enough time for everyone to enjoy their visit. Extra photos can be purchased for $5 each during your visit.

Session times are in 15-minute blocks, allowing four groups per block. This means you still may have to wait 15 minutes for your turn to see Santa, even if you arrive right on time. If you arrive more than five minutes early, you may need to wait outside. We do our very best to stick to the schedule, but occasionally we fall behind due to providing the best opportunity we can for every child to have a memorable photo with Santa. Thank you in advance for your patience and understanding.

Please choose your date and time carefully. Refunds will only be available prior to 14 December. After that date we are very busy bringing Christmas cheer to visitors in the Santa Cave and will not be able to process refunds.

Santa and the elves look forward to seeing you in the Santa Cave! A big thank you to Towncentre Taupō for creating, sponsoring and managing the Taupō Santa Cave again this year.
