Pets will only be permitted inside the MCG on Sunday November 30 only so please ensure you book in correctly.If you are booking into any session on Sunday November 30, please be aware that due to the nature of the activation there will be pet allergens present in the venue. If you do not require pet photography or have pet related allergies, we recommend booking into a session on an alternative day.
Booking times will overlap and patrons are encouraged to arrive prior to or stick around after their Santa Photos to enjoy the activities on offer. Therefore there will be other pets, children and families in the same space as your pet. If your pet is not suited to these environments we ask that you leave them home to ensure the safest environment for all guests.
