Back by overwhelming demand, Melbourne’s most beloved festive tradition is returning to captivate hearts all over again. Melbourne’s Christmas Wonderland is set to dazzle visitors from 28 November to 24 December 2025 at Caulfield Racecourse, offering an enchanting three-hour walk-through experience that brings every cherished moment of Christmas to life. From the sparkle of the lights to the sound of every HO HO HO, this magical wonderland promises memories that will last long after the tinsel is packed away.
Under The Grand Big Top, families will be immersed in a breathtaking world of decorations, towering trees, shimmering displays and festive cheer at every turn—an experience especially advisable for children aged 10 and under. This year, the much-loved Care Bears arrive in Melbourne with their brand-new Care Bears Wish Land, featuring colourful inflatables, a huge Christmas tree and special meet-and-greets.
Each session includes a spectacular live show starring the Care Bears, international circus performers, plus Santa and Mrs Claus themselves. Visitors can also enjoy roller skating, Mrs Claus’ cosy Storytelling Village, magical photo zones, Rudolph’s Barnyard, the North Pole Post Office, and the delightfully mischievous Grinch Land for family photos and so much more.
Little ones can spin on the teacups, ride the mini carousel, hop aboard the train, or leap into the Christmas spirit on themed jumping castles. Creative minds will adore The Factory and the Christmas Craft Villages, where gingerbread foam decorations, stockings, and plaster ornaments come to life.
With roving characters, carnival games, children’s rides, refreshments and more, Melbourne’s Christmas Wonderland is everything you love about Christmas—wrapped into one unforgettable experience.
Don’t miss your chance to step into the magic… Christmas is calling!
