Santa's Enchanted Kingdom at Hyperdome, Loganholme

Last weekend we popped up the M1 to Loganholme to visit Santa’s Enchanted Kingdom, one of the nation’s largest Christmas sets, at Hyperdome.

Located in Hyperdome’s North Mall, the incredible 650 sqm Kingdom offers families a unique range of attractions including Mrs Claus’ Bakery, where children can create their very own gingerbread character, and a magical forest cinema playing festive favourites.

Festive fun and babysitting

Friday, 17 November 2017

By Lauren - Gold Coast Mum

The festive season is here and it's all work parties, boys' nights and girls' nights in this neck of the woods.

My husband and I are like ships passing in the night due to our work/kids/sport/extra-curricular schedule.
If I'm going to a work event or meeting up with friends, I usually go after the kids are in bed.
So, adult time (where we actually LEAVE the house to enjoy an uninterrupted meal together) is very rare.

We attended a wedding together earlier this year - but I probably spent most of that time catching up with my girlfriends who I only get to see once a year.

And my Mum babysat for us to attend an event at our local indoor sports centre a few months ago - but even then, though hubby and I were both out, we were socialising with different people.

My mum came to the rescue again in October so I could attend my beloved RnB Live event in Brisbane (that hubby was also supposed to attend), while hubby attended a friend's wedding.
