It’s beginning to feel a lot like Christmas at David Jones, Adelaide Central Plaza, as the iconic Magic Cave returns on Saturday, November 4th.

The funhouse mirrors have been polished, the fairy lights are twinkling, and the snow forest trees have been adorned, ready for excited visitors to descend on a winter wonderland at David Jones for this cherished South Australian tradition. It’s a spectacle that’s sure to make your heart swell with Christmas cheer.

Starting on November 4th, the enchanting Magic Cave welcomes the one and only Father Christmas into David Jones at Adelaide Central Plaza.

Opening the same day as the National Pharmacies Christmas Pageant, this is the time to soak up the holiday spirit, snap your Santa photos, and get a head start on your Christmas shopping!

The Magic Cave is more than just a holiday attraction; it’s an Adelaide icon with roots that go back to 1896. In those days, Mr. Edward Waterfield Hayward created this fantastical Christmas world to celebrate children’s cultural heritage and bring the joy of the season to the community.

Each year, the real star of the show is, of course, Santa himself! You and your little ones can cosy up next to Santa and capture precious family moments. As a special bonus, every booking comes with a photo framed by David Jones, and each child gets their very own reindeer antler headband from Santa, straight from the North Pole!

For children with sensory needs, there’s a Sensitive Santa session designed with their comfort in mind. Plus, if you’re a proud pet parent, you can even have your furry pals pose for Pawtraits with Santa. Photo package pricing starts at just $30, making it a jolly good deal.

If you’re eager to dive into the Christmas spirit with your family, don’t miss the enchantment of David Jones’ Magic Cave. Father Christmas is waiting to make your holiday season merry and bright, one magical moment at a time.
