The most anticipated visitor of the season is packing his sleigh and heading to Perth! Santa Claus is making his merry way to Westfield shopping centres across the city this weekend, bringing Christmas cheer to excited children and families.
From Saturday morning, the jolly man in red will be setting up his festive grotto at various Westfield locations, ready to hear Christmas wishes and pose for those all-important holiday photos. This marks the official start of the Christmas season for many Perth families who make the Santa visit an annual tradition.
Where and When to Find Santa
Shoppers can expect fully decorated Santa experiences at Westfield centres including Whitford City, Carousel, Booragoon, and Innaloo. Each location will feature magical Christmas displays that transform shopping centres into winter wonderlands, complete with Santa's workshop and cheerful elves.
The timing varies slightly between centres, but most will have Santa available from morning through afternoon sessions. Early arrival is recommended as queues can form quickly, especially on weekends leading up to Christmas.
Creating Magical Christmas Memories
For many Perth children, meeting Santa at Westfield is a highlight of the festive season. The experience goes beyond just a quick photo opportunity - it's a chance for little ones to share their Christmas lists face-to-face with the main man himself.
Parents are encouraged to bring their cameras to capture these precious moments, with professional photo packages also available for purchase. The Westfield Santa experiences are designed to be accessible for all families, with options for sensory-friendly sessions at selected locations.
As Christmas Day approaches, these Santa visits provide the perfect opportunity to get into the holiday spirit while ticking off that shopping list. Whether you're after a classic Santa photo or just want to soak up the festive atmosphere, Westfield centres across Perth are the place to be this weekend.
