Christmas House Santa - Rovaniemi

Michael S.

Ein märchenhafter Ort. Man muss am Abend anreisen, wenn die Lichter eingeschaltet werden und keine Menschen mehr unterwegs sind. Selbst bei Weihnachtsmuffel wie mir funktioniert das Flair.
Der große Parkplatz für Camper/Wohnmobile ist kostenlos und perfekt zum übernachten.

A large souvenir shop right at the main entrance to Santa’s Village. In the same building, you’ll find Santa’s House, where you can visit him for free—though if you want a photo taken by the staff, it’ll cost you €40. Taking pictures with your own camera isn’t allowed.

The shop itself is packed with all kinds of souvenirs, as you can see in the photos, ranging from small trinkets to clothing and hats priced at €350. Definitely has a strong commercial feel.

The place where you meet Santa in Santa Claus Village. You can talk to Santa and Santa will talk to you. The guy spoke sufficient English and he was nice to interact with.
You see a lot of signs saying that entrance is free of change, which is true. But it's not possible to take your own pictures, which is not mentioned anywhere in advance. As you leave, you get one already printed picture and that one costs 50 Eur. You can also opt out and go for example for a digital one which costs 35 Eur. You also don't need buy any picture, but it would be shame, since you have already waited in the line for some time.
There is another souvenir shop at the end of the experience where you can buy something as you wait for your picture to arrive to your email.

Ha erre jársz kisgyerekkel, akkor kötelező uticél. Nagyon jol ki van találva, érdemes megnézni. Akár lakóautóval is tudsz parkolni vagy szobát is foglalhatsz.

If you are visiting this place with small children, it is a must-see destination. It is very well thought out, worth a visit. You can even park your camper or book a room.

Cool experience meeting Santa and lots of shopping opportunities

Mikołaj mówi parę słów prawie w każdym języku. Miła pamiątka z pobytu w Finlandii. Sama wioska to raczej atrakcją dla dzieci niż dla dorosłych. Parking darmowy. Zdjęcia z Mikołajem robi Elf w cenie 30-60 EUR.

Man fühlt sich natürlich in die Weihnachtszeit versetzt. Das Dorf ist schön gemacht, aber ist natürlich auf Kommerz aus. Für Weihnachtsfans natürlich ein muss. Es gibt sehr viele Souveniershops und es lohnt sich die Preise vor dem Kauf zu vergleichen. Mein Souvenier habe ich rund 30% billiger gefunden. Es gibt auch verschiedene Restaurants und Aktivitäten innerhalb des Parks. Die Fotos mit dem Santa Claus finde ich persönlich zu teuer. Übrigens der Polarkreis geht mitten durchs Dorf.

There are 2 Santa in the village. You will see this shop first thing when you turn into the car park. Visiting is free, but the photos are very expensive! It range from €30 to €60 depending on the size of the photo you want, and whether you want a digital copy. Prices are really steep, but if you really want to keep that memory, you have no choice but to pay as no photography is allowed in Santa’s workshop.

There is a pretty large souvenir shop as well, so even if you don’t buy anything, you can take a look. The prices of the souvenirs here are quite high compared to the souvenir shops opposite Santa’s office. Good idea to compare across all the shops before purchasing.
