Join us December 6th–7th, from 10am to 2pm, for the 14th Annual Santa’s Grotto - a beloved Queenstown holiday tradition supporting Wakatipu Plunket.
Step into the festive wonderland of Minus 5º ICE BAR, where Santa awaits in his natural frozen environment - just like the North Pole! Families can enjoy an unforgettable visit with Father Christmas, complete with magical photo opportunities and memories that will warm your heart all season long.
✨ 100% of proceeds go directly to Wakatipu Plunket, helping local families and children thrive. For a $10 donation per family, you’ll receive a personal visit with Santa, while face painting will be available for a gold coin donation.
🎟️ No need to book - we have a ticketed system, so you don’t have to stand in line while you wait!
Over the past 13 years, our community has come together through Santa’s Grotto to raise thousands for this incredible cause, and this year promises to be our most heartwarming yet.
We couldn’t do it without our generous sponsors:
