Visiting this property in the off season is a budget friendly way to see Santa and experience the Village. I definitely had fun but there is no doubt this place comes alive during the winter when all the snow activities are available. While I was there they were doing a lot of maintenance to get ready for the winter. It didn’t bother me but might take away from the fairytale visit you may have in mind. The staff were great, my cottage in Santas Village was lovely and even had it’s own sauna. Overall I would recommend a visit at any time of year but if you are looking for the Magical Christmas experience start saving now and come in December, I bet it is amazing!

We loved Santa Claus’ Village. We came in late, so we had to go across the road for fast food, but breakfast was great and the cabins with sauna were very comfortable. Thank you.

One night stay outside season

Family visit in April. As we were at the end of the winter season we have missed out on the most of activities what village has to offer. Also everything is at the extra cost , no activities included with Santa stay. We didn’t realise how little to do once the season is over, also little cottages are comfortable enough , but done to the minimal just to provide you basics. I personally would stay in near by A&B with more personal touches and catch a bus to the village just for a visit. Best experience in the area was “Santa Salmon” ! That is 100% a must!
