Santa Claus Village Tour

The Santa Claus Village tour is perfect for families with kids, and moreover, our guide streamlines the most important and fascinating parts of the village so that the whole family stays happy before nap time approaches. 

In addition, our fun-loving guide engages and plays with the children while guiding you through the village and pointing out hidden “easter eggs” or commonly missed highlights.

Afterwards, prepare to meet Father Christmas himself. At the same time, think about who you would like to send your snail mail to in the future. As a result, you get both a magical moment in the present and a keepsake for the future. Finally, near the end of the experience, you even have the chance to meet and touch some animals.
