Back by popular demand, Melbourne’s Christmas Wonderland will once again transform Caulfield Racecourse into a festive spectacular from 28 November 28 to 24 December 2025. The immersive three-hour experience has become a family favourite, bringing every sparkle, carol and jingle to life under The Grand Big Top.
Designed especially for children aged 10 and under, the event combines dazzling decorations, lights, Christmas trees and roving characters with interactive attractions. From Mrs Claus’ storytelling village to the North Pole Post Office, the wonderland promises a mix of nostalgia and new surprises.
This year’s program includes Care Bears Wish Land, filled with inflatables, meet-and-greets and a towering tree. Each session also features a live show with Care Bears, circus acts, and Santa and Mrs Claus. Families can book Santa photos, meet the Grinch in Grinch Land, and grab a festive gift before leaving.
Active fun is also part of the mix with a roller-skating rink, candy-themed jumping castles, a teacup ride, carousel and mini train. Creative kids can unleash their imaginations at The Factory, the Craft Village and the Care Bears Christmas Village, making everything from stockings to plaster ornaments.
For animal lovers, Rudolph’s Barnyard brings animatronic reindeer to life, while carnival games and food stalls ensure there’s plenty to eat, play and win. Visitors are encouraged to capture memories at numerous themed photo zones dotted throughout the wonderland.
Melbourne’s Christmas Wonderland has cemented itself as one of the city’s most anticipated holiday traditions, combining immersive theatre, festive fun and family activities. Tickets are available now via Ticketmaster, with full details on the official website: www.melbourneschristmaswonderland.com.au.
