It was amazing, you can feel the love and carring of the Elf.

Brought my twins (7yo) and honestly, I was just as excited as they were! The elves were SOOOOO into character, totally believable. The cookie decorating was a HIT, especially after that little dance they taught us. Heads up, if your kid doesn’t get English or Finnish, you’ll prob need to help out. It was packed but didn’t feel rushed, which I liked. The snowmobile pick-up was a fun touch, made us feel like VIP elves. Very festive, even for grownups. Worth every cent.

Pretty cute setup! My son was over the moon about meeting REAL elves (he’s convinced now). The little hats and certificates were adorable. Only thing—some bits were hard to follow for non-English speakers, but the team tried to include everyone. Cookie time was messy but fun. Bring gloves, the walk from the snowmobile is chilly.

Whole family LOVED it. My wife and I thought it would just be for the kiddos but nope, we were all into it. The elves are great with nervous kids, and the story part is actually interesting (not just for show). My daughter kept her hat on the whole trip. If you’re in Rovaniemi and got kids, this is a winner.

Was ok. My son’s shy and didn’t wanna join the dance, so he felt a bit left out. Elves tried but group was big and he didn’t get much attention. Not bad, just not really our thing.
