CBD Santa Visit - Myer or David Jones?

2190sarah on 18/11/2020 - 13:36

I’m planning to take my kids (5&7) to see the Santa display in Sydney CBD this year, we might book a night in a hotel and make it an event!

I haven’t been since I was a kid to the city Christmas displays, but I vaguely remember it being magical. Does anyone have any insight on which is better Myer’s Santaland or David Jones Magic Cave? I’d take the kids to both but don’t want to open up a bunch of tricky questions of how come he’s at both places…

I’ve heard the QVB building ones are great, but this year due to COVID-19 it is different and costs $55 a head for ‘high tea’ with a roaming Santa so I’d be up for $220 to see Santa there… think I’ll skip that option…

Thanks!

    Take them to both. Just explain, just as Santa can deliver all the presents in one night he can be in multiple places and look, slightly, different. I'm sure the kids wouldn't complain anyway. Don't know about Sydney but Melbourne has got the display windows up and we have flying trams.

      he can be in multiple places

      DJs had four Santa rooms i.e. four Santas working at the same time when we were dismantling the Magic Cave pre-refurbishment!

      Perhaps I should add ‘I might not be able to get my husband to visit both’…

      My life was over when I found out Santa, wrestling, and Donald trumps intelligence weren’t real.

      Comment from video:
      “(profanity) moron. ​Here is LOGICAL reasoning as to why Santa cant and doesn't exist… FOR STARTERS. An adult Reindeer ways at max 529 pounds. Multiply that by 8 and you get almost 5000 pounds. Plus, Santa prolly weighs like 300 or so pounds, that makes the combined weight 5,239 pounds. Given the fact that a standard suburban home roof cant withstand such a weight, the roof would cave in within seconds. According to the myth, Santa's sleigh weighs at least 1260 pounds. Add this to the 5,239 pounds and you get 6,472 pounds. The roof would cave in almost instantly. Second, nobody can live in the north (profanity) pole. third, neither reindeer nor sleds can fly. Third, if his nickname is "the jolly fat man and we take into account the diameter of the standard suburban chimney opening, Santa would almost instantly get stuck. And even if he could fit down, he'd probably be met with a shotgun in his face. The Santa story has so many holes in it and i just explained all of them to you. Using LOGIC, math AND (profanity) REASON. ALSO, In order for Santa to get to every house in countries that celebrate Christmas from the north pole, the reindeer would have to be robotic and have rocket engines with infinite amounts of fuel. There is nothing else you can say to defend the story.”

    My kids are more or less the same age. From memory, I think they talk about "real Santa" and "Santa's helpers". Seems to work.

    Myer has the cool lift that takes you straight to Level 6 that's like a rocket
