Tips & Advice

  • Come early in the day so the kids have time to meet Santa, do crafts and get their faces painted.
  • Bring a leash if your dog is coming, because dogs must be kept on a leash in Waitangi Park.
  • Use the public toilets at the Waitangi Park play area, which are the handiest ones for families on the day.
  • Let the kids use the park's playground between Christmas activities for a break from the crowds around the stage.
