Santa Tram

Bendigo Tramways

Board one of Bendigo's beautifully refurbished heritage trams on a festive adventure through the city in search of Santa's classified location. Each ticket includes a jingle-worthy tram ride and a personal meet and greet with Santa himself. Kids aged 2-15 also take home a small gift. Families are encouraged to bring a phone or camera to capture the moment and take their own Christmas photos. Santa Tram is a fond Bendigo tradition that dates back to the 1960s, with generations of locals enjoying the experience as a child and with their own children or grandchildren. Tickets are strictly limited and bookings are essential. Be quick, they're expected to disappear faster than cookies on Christmas Eve.
