From Summer to Snow, Santa returns to Auckland at Snowplanet!

While Christmas in Auckland usually means jandals, togs and sunshine, this year families can swap summer for snow and experience Christmas in a completely different way at Snowplanet. 

From 21 November, rug up and step inside Snowplanet’s snow dome for a winter Christmas experience filled with Christmas trees, alpine-inspired scenery, festive decorations and, of course, Santa and his elves.  It’s a chance to experience the kind of snowy Christmas usually reserved for movies and Christmas cards – without leaving Auckland.  At a frosty –5°C, the snow dome provides quite the contrast to an Auckland summer.

Families can explore the Christmas setting, enjoy time together in the snow and make their way to meet Santa as part of the experience.  And while meeting Santa is at the heart of the visit, there’s also something to take home. Each booking includes a family photo with Santa, with an 8-inch print to keep as a Christmas memento.

So when you’re ready to swap sunshine for snow for a little while, Snowplanet offers Auckland families a very different kind of Christmas adventure; and perhaps the closest thing to a white Christmas you’ll find without getting on a plane!
