Santa Photos 2025
Experience a tropical Christmas wonderland at Smithfield Shopping Centre!
Step into Santa’s Tropical Grotto, where festive magic meets island style. Capture your special Christmas memories with our local Santa, brought to life by Cairns’ own Blueclick Photography.
From Saturday 15 November until Christmas Eve, Santa will be ready to welcome families to our beautifully themed tropical set — the perfect backdrop for your festive photo.
We’re proud to offer inclusive Silent Santa sessions for a sensory-friendly experience and Pet Pawtraits so your furry friends can join the fun too!
Plus — Santa has a surprise gift for children aged 3 to 8 years!
(Strictly while stocks last.)
Location: Santa’s Tropical Grotto — in front of Kmart
