What to expect

Santa Claus Village

Santa Claus Village is the main stop on this guided tour, combining family-friendly activities with the chance to cross the Arctic Circle and meet Santa Claus himself.

Features

• Meeting Santa Claus himself is a core part of this tour; you enter his office and have time for a personal encounter, while professional photos with Santa Claus are available for purchase on-site and personal photography inside Santa's office is usually restricted.

• Your expert English-speaking guide, with other languages available on request, leads you through the highlights of the village so you can explore in a smooth and engaging way that is perfect for families with kids.

• Thermal winter clothing is provided for the duration of your visit, adding an extra layer over your own warm jacket and layers so you can comfortably enjoy the well maintained outdoor paths even in very cold weather.

• A local lunch is included during your time at Santa Claus Village, which gives you a scheduled meal as part of the tour, while any additional food and drinks can be bought separately at the cafés and restaurants in the village.

• Pickup and drop-off within a 10 km circle of Rovaniemi are included as round-trip transfers, so you do not need to arrange transport, and the tour operates in normal winter weather conditions with Santa Claus Village remaining accessible year-round.
