Meet Santa Claus at the Arctic Circle

Step into a wintery world where Santa Claus, Mrs. Claus, and the elves spend their busy yet magical days. Your adventure begins by following a snowy path that leads you straight to Santa’s post office. Thousands upon thousands of letters from all over the world arrive here – and who knows, you might even spot the one you sent with your Christmas wishes.

The path continues toward Santa’s cozy little cabin. Peek inside and see where Santa spends his peaceful evenings and relaxes by the warmth of the fireplace after long days of preparations. After the cabin, the next stop is Santa and Mrs. Claus’s traditional sauna. Perhaps Santa has already lit the sauna fire for a cozy evening steam bath.

After enjoying the sauna, Santa loves to indulge in the freshly baked gingerbread cookies made by Mrs. Claus. Now it’s your turn to enjoy these delicious treats in the Christmas house. Mrs. Claus’s kitchen is filled with the scent of Christmas, and you can even decorate your own gingerbread cookie to take home as a festive souvenir.

The journey is crowned by a visit to Santa himself by the warmth of the fireplace. Share your secret Christmas wishes and messages with him, and before heading home, you can choose to take a family photo with Santa to make sure this magical day lives on in memories and photos.
