Elf Farmyard
We actually loved this expertise. It felt like good worth and interacting with the reindeer in Lapland was an excellent expertise for our son.

- Tour of the Husky park + 2km journey: €75 for adults, €45 for youngsters (ages 4–12)
- 2km journey solely: €45 for adults, €30 for youngsters (I’d personally simply do that if on a good funds).

Elf Hat Academy
We had been suggested towards this expertise, because it’s a bit expensive for what it’s. It’s a 25-minute session the place you study to be an elf. It’s price noting in the event you plan to go to Santa Park, Elf faculty is included. The entire entrance payment for Santa Park is lower than the price of this 25 minute session.
- €39 for a 25-minute session
Mini Snowmobiles
These are appropriate for youths ages 4–13. We felt Leo wouldn’t have the ability to drive the snowmobiles, so we skipped this one.

This was one among our favorite actions with Leo inside Santa Claus Village. Tickets value £25 per individual for all-day entry, which incorporates tube snow slides, an ice maze, ice skating, and an ice slide. For an additional payment, you may seize a drink on the ice bar or take pleasure in a meal within the ice restaurant.

Snowman World Restaurant: Trustworthy Evaluation
We determined to pay for the meal right here because it isn’t on daily basis you get to eat at a restaurant manufactured from ice. The tables, the chairs, the entire restaurant is definitely ice, which is de facto cool and a giant novelty for the entire household. We opted for lunch over dinner purely as a result of it was cheaper, and we had been there for the restaurant expertise, not the meals.
I’ve hooked up pictures of the menus for each lunch and dinner (on the day we went in December 2023) and the value you pay in the event you ebook on the day. You’ll be able to see the choices aren’t very substantial BUT the meals we had was scrumptious. You virtually count on poor high quality meals in a spot like this, so we had been pleasantly stunned. My husband and I had the smoked cheese Reindeer soup, Leo had the Pasta Bolognese. The nice and cozy apple pie desert was additionally yummy.
Ship a Postcard Residence!
A enjoyable, low cost method to kill 15/20 minutes. Head to Santa’s publish workplace and let the children select a postcard to ship to a buddy or household. The stamps are from the Arctic circle so its a stunning memento in the event that they need to ship one to themselves! Leo despatched them to each of his grandparents (he has English and Portuguese grandparents!)
