santa claus village印象

I have been to the village twice, once in winter and once in autumn. Definitely the high season of winter is very crowdy and you will have to wait a very long time in a queue to meet Santa.Also in the high season the picture or USB key with the picture you can pay for increase their price quite a lot to me.Nonetheless, the whole place has beautiful things to discover and the shops are full of nice gifts to buy. Moreover, most of the gifts in the village will often be the same price or sometimes cheaper than in Rovaniemi's city center! Which surprised me! So if you wish to buy some present take your time there ;)

Not to be recommended. The Santa Claus village seems highly commercial place with tourist shops. There are some opportunities for sleigh riding behind a reindeer and taking a photo with Santa Claus, but everything you do is expensive. Besides there is not much to do here anyways.

Over commercialized and relatively tasteless although kids will enjoy it. You can get there on a public bus so no big expenses.

The village area is nice to walk around, get something to eat etc.. it's not over-commercialized.. which is good and bad depending on what you are looking for... It is strange to visit Santa in March.. but Rovaniemi is his 'home' so.. it's what you want to do and expect! The Snow mobile tour available at the park itself is great as they actually rent out 'mini snowmobiles' that kids can drive themselves .. both on a short safari through the nearby forest.. or just around the track. This is better than the young kids just riding on the sleigh pulled by a Snow Mobile Guide driver.The room / area where you go to visit Santa inside the Santa Claus Village hotel is a bit small / dark.. they could brighten / decorate it up to make the visit more special! Food options were good and plenty.. Staff everywhere was super... Cheers!

I figured I had to come here while in Rovaniemi, though a touristy Santa-themed place wasn't the most tempting to me (I was here for snowmobiling and ice hockey). I actually had a good time in the SC Village. Yes, it's touristy and commercial, but I think they actually did it very well; the surroundings are beautiful and it's a lovely scenic place to walk around. I only heard one area playing Christmas music, so that didn't drive me crazy either - but then it might be a bit more peaceful in February! I didn't do any chargable extras (Snowman World, Santa's House of Snowmobiles, etc), but still enjoyed a couple of hours walking round and of course meeting Santa, when I built up the courage. It was all adults in the queue so I felt less stupid! It was a nice experience, too, well done and Santa was really lovely to chat to; photos are way too pricy but meeting him is free and they have to make their money somehow. Some of the souvenir shops are a bit tacky but there were nice shops, too, with locally made produce and there's a Marttini outlet for gift knives. I'd recommend the place, though the buses are infrequent so do plan your journey in advance.

From Rovaniemi City Center, take Winter bus 8. The journey to Santa Claus Village is about 20minutes. My friends and I went during February. Even though Christmas was long over, Santa Claus Village just brings back the mood of Christmas. White snow and giant snowman can be seen. We went to take photo with Santa Claus. Although there was a queue, but it is worth the wait. Photos, as well as video (interaction with Santa Claus) can be bought. There were many people at the post office in Santa Claus village. The postcards are mainly design of aurora, santa claus, reindeer and Santa Claus village. There were other cute design of the postcards as well. We bought postcards and stamps, find an empty table to sit and began to write the postcards and send to send our friends. There are two post boxes: one to be sent during Christmas, another to be send "today". The staff told me that they are not able to customize the date to be sent. A certificate can be bought at the reception counter, indicating that you have crossed the Arctic Circle. It comes with 2 different designs. You can have "Santa Claus Village stamp" to be stamped on your passport with a price as well.

The article circle bit is good and the atmosphere. But you are just there really to get yoyr souvenirs.

The village is a collection of souvenir shops with only a few interesting aspects . The Santa Claus Post office was nice with all the letters from all over the world and the opportunity to send your Christmas cards already (they will be sent for Christmas ) . You can enjoy all the other activities that you can find in Rovaniemi too , and they have some good restaurants . It was a disappointement that there were 2 Santas to visit (one in his office , the other in the Arctic Centre) ~ one too many ! And you can't take a photo , they will ! For the right price off course . It's a place you should visit when you are in Rovaniemi , but not an extraordinary one . Enjoy .

Fantastic. The kids loved the outside ice slide rides. The ice castle was great, still cold. Lots to see and do, lots of things for he kids, we had teenagers and they still enjoy it. Atmosphere was lovely, everyone was so happy.

As I already was in Rovanimei, I visited the Santa Village.Well, I am no big fan of him, but nevertheless I had to visit him personally :) I gues for children it's even more funny and exciting, I also enjoyed it. You have to wait a little and then you can visit him personally and talk to him.There are many shops to buy something, so you won't miss any souvenir.
