          Ideal Northern Lights excursion for families
          We really enjoyed this trip, I booked it because there was shelter for my children (it was -23' when we went). We were picked up by Dimitri and drove 30km to the lakeside house. Once there we walked out onto the frozen lake and Dimitri started to check for aurora on his camera. There was activity and it was picked up better on the camera than the naked eye but we got a great photograph to top off our week in Lapland. We had hot drinks and cookies and the children were given marshmallows and skewers to toast on the outdoor fire. We also had BBQ sausage and were emailed a link to the photographs (free) after the trip. A good excursion, thank you Dimitri.

          Not recommend
          The display glass was frozen and not possible to see through. Very limited number of animals displayed overall. We bearly manage to see any animals at all. It my opinion very expensive and not worth it trip. There is better ways to spend your time and money. I understand they have animals that are local for the area.. but there is no reindeer for example and it is their national animal.

          Amazing experience with Andrei
          Andrei was an amazing guide!! We got to see the northern lights and enjoy a hot drink and sausage. He was passionate about teaching us and telling us about Finland and nature.

          The best! Absolutely love it!
          Our guide, Andrei, is the best! We came with little expectation, but we were blown away by his knowledge, hospitality, and thoughtfulness. We saw the lights, had bbq sausage in the open, hot drinks, biscuits, and marshmallows. The cottage is lovely, especially when it gets cold, and you just wanted to get warm up for a bit. Highly recommended! We booked months in advance. On the day itself, we received a text telling us that it was cloudy and our chance would be better the next day. We were given the option to change if we like. Thankfully, we did, and we saw the lights! Great service!

          Nice guide but no northern lights
          The guide was nice , but if you really want to see the northern lights go on a hunting tour you'll have more opportunities.

          Amazing place!!!
          Amazing place! Everything are inside something like mountain ⛰️ Very stylish and cozy atmosphere. Many different attractions inside. You don’t need warm clothes inside. Acrobatics show, meet Santa, Elf’s school, beautiful train ride, gingerbread decoration school , winter wonderland. Strictly recommended to order VIP tickets for family. We spend 3 hours inside!

          Better than expected
          This turned out to be better than expected actually, I'm not sure what the negative reviews were expecting. Yes, it isn't huge but they do pack quite a lot in, try seeing it through the eyes of a child. All of the staff 'elves' stayed in character but one of them absolutely made the day for my two daughters. I hope she gets recognised for this, but whoever played Elf Nelphine at the Ice Princess area was amazing. She sat and spoke to my daughters, made them laugh, made them dance and really made the trip magical for them, they still talk about her. All in all we had a great day at Santa Park.

          A bit too much of everything
          Santa Claus Village: Crowded, loud and very commercial. Full of tourist busses and souvenir shops. We couldn’t feel any Christmas spirit in this place. The Elves farmyard saved our day. It’s a bit off the crowds and has great slides for children, marshmallow barbecue and feeding reindeer. Though, the entrance fee to Elves Farmyard is hefty - everything is expensive in Lappland. Santa Park: After the experience in Santa’s Village, we didn’t expect anything from Santa Park, but got pleasantly surprised. Yes, it is expensive and very commercial in most parts. But the Elves School, Gingerbread Bakery and Workshop provide a nice setting and entertainment for younger kids. We do recommend visiting Santa Park IF you have small children (2-5 yrs probably ideal), and are looking for something to do indoors to escape the freezing cold. The tickets are good for 2 days, although you can see everything in 4-5 hrs. I recommend being there early in the morning to avoid the crowds and waiting times.

          Do NOT let them rip you off
          Pure scam. Even if you go with children. Very overpriced for what they offer, which is a bunch of expensive shops. Santas park is insulting for the intelligence of both kids and adults.

          Best activity ever
          The experience I had in this activity was literally awesome! Staffs were so kind and full of hospitalities that they took many beautiful pictures for our group, besides they served hot tea and some sweets during waiting for the northern lights. Fortunately I could finally see the northern lights, I am very satisfied with this activity.

        We hired a car to drive ourselves out to the Amethyst mine. It’s about 1 hr 20min drive from Rovaniemi to Luosta. Roads are easy to drive on and it was well signed and easy to park in the parking lot to be collected by the Pendolina (snow tractor). We did the 2pm tour which is on dusk so it was pitch black when we returned to our car at 4pm. The view from the mine was spectacular. You drive up a hill, stop at a cafe for 15mins which is gives you great photo opportunities and then on to the mine. The mine itself is undercover and the amethyst are easy to find (not much digging is required). The tour was very informative and the staff very friendly. I highly recommend doing this and driving yourself.
