The More You Know
Bendigo families, it’s time to mark your calendars! The Bendigo Santa Photos and Elf Academy return to the Central Deborah Gold Mine this December, offering a truly magical experience for kids of all ages. Since its debut in 2020, the Elf Academy has become a must-attend holiday tradition for families in Bendigo. This year, Santa is ready to pose for professional photos with Bendigo’s little ones, while the Elf Academy immerses children in the enchanting world of elf training.
Running from December 19-23, the Elf Academy offers hands-on activities that let children learn what it takes to be one of Santa’s helpers. From stacking presents sky-high to crafting holiday ornaments, the event is packed with activities that will have kids graduating with their “Certificate IV in Elf Training.” And don’t miss out on Santa photos—a cherished keepsake for families to treasure! Each session is two hours, with multiple times available each day to accommodate everyone.
For families who prefer a quieter experience, the sensory-friendly session on December 19 at 4:30 PM offers a relaxed environment for elf trainees of all needs. Tickets for Elf Academy start at $22 per person, with family packages, and additional options like Very Important Elf (VIE) Packs for even more holiday treats. And for a special holiday bonus, guests can add on a Vintage Talking Tram Tour at a reduced rate, valid through January 2025.
Don’t miss the chance to capture precious memories with Bendigo Santa Photos and let your kids experience the magic of the Elf Academy! For full details and to book your session, visit Elf Academy’s website.
