Description
Give your children more than a quick hello with an elf. Spend two magical hours with your own Christmas Elf in Santa Claus Forest — playing, exploring and creating memories together.
Imagine giving your children more than a quick hello with an elf.
In Santa Claus Forest, your family can spend two magical hours with a Christmas Elf — playing, laughing, exploring the snowy forest and simply enjoying Christmas magic together.
There is no rushed meeting. Your Christmas Elf stays with you throughout the experience, getting to know the children, playing together and creating personal moments that may become some of their favorite memories from Lapland.
Your adventure begins with pickup from your accommodation in Rovaniemi. Soon, you'll leave the city behind and enter the snowy world of Santa Claus Forest, where your Christmas Elf is ready to welcome you.
Play Like the Elves Do
Follow your elf into the forest and discover some of the simple joys of winter in Lapland. Go sledding, build snow lanterns, make snow angels, throw snowballs and try traditional Finnish outdoor games such as Mölkky.
There is no need to rush through a checklist. The idea is to have fun together. If the children love sledding, let's go again. If everyone wants to build something in the snow, your elf will happily join in.
Choose Your Experience
⭐ Standard – Christmas Elf Adventure
Share the experience with a small group. Groups are kept small so your Christmas Elf has time to play, talk and interact with everyone.
⭐ Private – Your Own Christmas Elf
Choose the Private option and your family or group gets the Christmas Elf all to yourselves. With no other guests joining, the experience can be adapted even more freely to your children's interests, energy and favorite activities.
A Magical Campfire Moment
After playing in the snow, gather around a campfire in Santa Claus Forest. Roast Finnish sausages and marshmallows, enjoy traditional leipäjuusto (Finnish squeaky cheese) with homemade cloudberry jam, and warm up with berry juice.
Relax, share stories with your elf and enjoy the peaceful winter forest together.
More Than Meeting an Elf
Children can see Christmas Elves in many places in Lapland. This experience is about something different — it's about getting to know one.
For two hours, your Christmas Elf becomes part of your family's adventure: playing, laughing and exploring Santa Claus Forest together.
When it's finally time to say goodbye, the children may not remember every game or every snowball they threw.
But they may always remember the day they spent two magical hours with a Christmas Elf in Lapland.
