The Lucky Door: A Merry Kidsmas

  • Family and kids
  • Comedy

Created by children's entertainment veterans Stevie Nicholson (Hi-5) and James Elmer (ABC3, Paw Patrol Live), A Merry Kidsmas combines three festive favourites into the one ticket.

Across a 90-minute interactive session, families step straight into the Elf Academy. Kids tackle hands-on challenges, earn their elf certificate and join in active play before enjoying a high-energy live musical theatre show packed with original songs, falling snow and bubbles. Premium Elfmission also includes a family photo with Santa.

While tailored for ages 2 to 12, the experience is not exclusive to this bracket. The whole family is welcome, with plenty of humour for parents. Infants under 12 months attend free, provided they are seated on a parent's or carer's lap.

The venue is indoors and weatherproof.
