Discover the Christmas Tiny Doors in Brisbane City
Embark on a magical quest through Brisbane City from the 1 - 25 December with your young ones this Christmas. Follow the festive trail and see if you can spot all 16 Christmas Tiny Doors hidden throughout the city. Keep your eyes peeled and your Christmas spirit ready, but if you need a little help along the way, here are a few clues for the keen-eyed elves!
Your Christmas Tiny Doors adventure starts with the map! Pick up a copy from the Visitor Information Centre on Queen Street Mall or view the online map before setting off to find all 16.
Start your mystical adventure in Post Office Square, a lush green space in the middle of Brisbane City and the perfect spot to stop for a bite before the hunt begins. While you’re there, let the kids explore the garden beds and see if they can uncover the first Tiny Door hiding among the flora and fauna.
From Post Office Square, continue the Christmas quest towards MacArthur Central. There’s another Tiny Door waiting to be discovered here, tucked among the shops on the ground floor. Keep your eyes low as you wander through and see if the kids can spot it before moving on to the next stop.
Let the Christmas hunt lead you into QueensPlaza, where another Tiny Door is hidden among the festive shopping scene. Head down to the lower levels and keep watch as you wander past the shops, Christmas displays and decorations. There’s another tiny discovery waiting somewhere along the way, so don’t let the twinkling surrounds distract you from the search.
King George Square is easy to find, just follow the Christmas sparkle until you reach Brisbane’s biggest Christmas Tree. Take in the festive decorations around Brisbane City Hall, but don’t let them distract you from the search. Another Tiny Door is hiding nearby, waiting to be unwrapped! The festivities don’t stop there at the square, if you are visiting after dark, stick around to watch the official Lighting of the Christmas Tree on November 27 and the City Hall Lights from 4 December, adding even more Christmas magic to the hunt.
Skip over the road to Queen Street Mall where there’s a total of eight Tiny Doors waiting to be discovered! Forage under the fig trees and garden beds, follow the Christmas jingles to the Queens Street Mall Stage, stop by the Visitor Information Centre and try not to get wet at the water fountain and keep watch as you make your way down the mall’s cross ways and down Edward and Albert Street. With Christmas decorations, festive entertainment and plenty of gift shopping along the way, there’s lots to catch your eye, but don’t forget about those Tiny Doors! Each one has its own unique design, so snap a photo with every door you discover and see if you can collect all eight along the mall.
As you continue to make your way through Queen Street Mall you can find even more hidden doors inside the city’s shopping centres. Keep an eye out at the entrance to Wintergarden, then continue along the mall to Uptown, where another Tiny Door is hiding on Level Q. Whilst you’re here, why not take the time to do a little Christmas gift shopping, browse the festive displays and tick a few presents off the list along the way.
Save room for two more surprises at Brisbane Quarter, where the final pair of Tiny Doors round out this year’s trail. Search the precinct for both and once you’ve spotted them, count your finds to see whether you’ve managed the full set of 16.
The family fun doesn’t have to end with the final Tiny Door! Explore our guide to Christmas in Brisbane City for more festive experiences to enjoy together.
