Christmas is here, and the big man himself is returning to his Taupō Santa Cave from today until December 23.
Santa’s helpers at TownCentre Taupō have been hard at work organising a festive space for visits at 40 Horomātangi St in Taupō's CBD.
Visits cost $10, which includes a gift for the child, as well as a photo with Santa available digitally and a printed one to take home.
It’s the busiest time of year for Santa, so sessions need to be booked online, with no walk-ins accepted.
Only one ticket is needed per family, for a maximum of six people, with groups of seven or more asked to book two tickets for the same session.
