CoupleVerified bookingNov 20255/5We loved the experience, how nice and friendly our guide was. It was punctual, everything went as previosly discussed. We enjoyed the rides, and we learned about the herders.Nov 20255/5Took my daughter (age 7) and honestly, it was MAGICAL. We arrived super early (pro tip: do that to skip the big crowds) and she got to feed the reindeer before most people showed up. Our guide, Sanna, had the patience of a saint—she answered like 200 questions from my little one about Santa’s reindeer diet and why the snow squeaks. Hot berry juice at the end was a nice touch. Only thing: indoor pics not allowed with Santa, which was a bummer for my Insta. Otherwise, 10/10 day!Nov 20254/5Really unique spot. Met Santa (he speaks soooo many languages, wild), did a husky ride, and wandered the gift shops. Bit touristy, but kids were thrilled. Wait for Santa was longer than expected (almost 50 mins), but they kept us entertained with little crafts. Bring your own snacks if you’ve got picky eaters.
