Rovaniemi: Santa Claus Village and Santa Park Day Trip
Experience the magic of Lapland on a day trip to Santa Claus Village and Santa Park. Meet Santa, cross the Arctic Circle, and enjoy a virtual sleigh ride around the world.
Begin your adventure with a pickup from your accommodation in Rovaniemi. Head to Santa Claus Village, where you’ll enjoy a short guided introduction and take part in the symbolic crossing of the Arctic Circle — the perfect photo opportunity. From late November to February, meeting Santa can mean long queues, but your visit will be pre-booked for you to the nearest time of your tour. After a short wait (usually 15–30 minutes), step into Santa’s Office for a personal meeting. Next, enjoy 2 hours of free time to explore the Santa Claus Village at your own pace. From December 6, 2025 – March 17, 2026 your visit includes tickets to Snowman World, where you can enjoy ice slides, snow sculptures, and the magical winter playground. Before Desember 6 2025 your visit includes personal gift from Santa Claus in Santa Village. Then, take a short 5-minute drive to Santa Park, an underground Christmas theme park where the magic continues. Spend 2–3 hours enjoying all included attractions, including a family meeting with Santa Claus in his office, a visit to the Gingerbread Bakery, a visit to the Post Office, and an Elf School Experience with your own Elf Diploma and Elf Trainee Hat. Take a magic train ride, make handicrafts in the Elf Workshop, and experience the undercrossing of the Arctic Circle underground. Explore the Toy Factory Shopping Area & Santa’s Corner Shop, and take unlimited photos and videos with Santa, Elves & Mrs. Gingerbread. Finish with a virtual Christmas sleigh ride around the world. After a day filled with magical memories, drive back to your accommodation in Rovaniemi.
