  • Not as magical as expecting. Maybe it does get the right atmosphere during Xmas time but the Santa Klaus Village was disappointing. Also the quality of shops is barely acceptable. Very very touristic....  more

  • Dreams came true! We visited this absolutely fabulous place last year, and stayed for 4 nights in the Santa Village. What an incredible experience with so many activities for kids and adults. Highly recommended for everyone who was to meet Santa! Eat delicious salmon straight from the fire and drink warm blackberry juice and biscuits! We loved every single minute of our stay.
  • One could call it a tourist trap , others just a wonderful and free amusement park Santa based. I vote for the latter . The place gets fairy style at night ( 2pm in winter 🤣), just walking around and visiting the shops is worth it and it's free . Actually I bought some gifts and they are not overpriced . Just don't spend more than one day there
  • This place generally is pretty diverse! Great for kids with a lot of sleds and shows and reindeer rides! Even the food has a huge variety, no need to worry about getting hungry! But every single attraction is extremely expensive and had to think twice before purchasing…
  • What a magnificent and enchanting experience, continue the magic of Christmas by visiting Santa Claus' village. Take the night train from Helsinki and arrive in Rovaniemi by minus 21 degrees, winter is cold in the land of winter wonderland but hearts are warm. 🎄🎅🏻
  • A cool Santa Claus themed resort with a fun activities for kids, adults and families. The Husky ride was a lot of fun, highly recommend to also visit the husky farm. Reindeer ride was also great, but not as fun as the Husky ride. As expected, food will be expensive, bit you could actually grab delicious food at the Shell Gas Station opposite the village. There's also snowmobile rides, taking pictures with Santa Claus, etc. Spending one day would be enough over here though.
