An Australianshopping centre’s “Winter Village” is causing controversy after the event didn’t live up to the standards promised.
Angry parents lambasted the event, which was held at the Colonnades Shopping Centre in Adelaide and promised Christmas-themed games and activities, as well as the chance to meet Santa in an “enchanted forest”.
In reality, attendees were met with a dour warehouse with minimal decorations. The result was severely underwhelming.
To top it all off, tickets cost $27 per person, while a family deal was $92.
Photos from the ill-fated Winter Village also went viral in a tweet shared by Tom Tanuki. “It looks like the Fyre Festival of kid’s Santa events,” he wrote.
