Make it a very furry Christmas at Westfield Newmarket. Why should your four-legged friends miss out on all the fun? Bring them along for a Santa photo with the whole family.
Dress-ups are welcome, so deck them in their best festive outfits and create an extra special merry memory. Most pets are welcome, including dogs, cats, rabbits and other small animals.
Online bookings are essential, and sessions book out quickly. Please note, there will be no walk-ins available (no matter how persuasive those puppy eyes may be).
Still with the magic you know and love, Westfield will be offering a COVID-Safe Santa experience this year that reflects local requirements. The traditional portrait image will be replaced with a landscape shot, to allow for physical distancing. Masks will be required indoors for anyone over the age of 12, including Santa, and the photography set will be assessed in line with Auckland restrictions. For your wellbeing, a few extra safety measures will be in place. Hand sanitiser will be available and a separate screen for families to view their Santa pictures. Santa’s elves will also support with cleaning throughout the day.
Entry via Mortimer Pass, use second entrance to basement orange carpark. Please use lift to access level 1 to photography area. Ensure animals are on leads or crated in centre until their photo moment.
