Snowfall and Christmas cheer  

Let the magic of Christmas unfold with cascading snowfall – a touch of white Christmas in the heart of the city! From 28 November – 24 December, enjoy snowfall every 15 minutes from 7.30pm - 9.30pm. 

And from 12–24 December, you can catch delightful – and sometimes cheeky – Christmas characters performing and spreading festive joy from 7pm – 9pm each evening.

Snap a photo with giant gift boxes, rollerskating baubles, cheeky elves and more — it’s the perfect way to add a little sparkle to your Christmas adventure.
