Santa Claus Village & Santa Park Day Trip with Lunch, from Levi

10 hours

Easy

A full-day guided trip from Levi to Santa Claus Village and Santa Park in Rovaniemi — meet Santa on the Arctic Circle, then spend several hours inside Santa Park's underground Christmas world: shows, elf workshops, a magic train and a buffet lunch.

Santa Claus Village & Santa Park Day Trip from Levi — Arctic Circle, Santa’s Office, Underground Christmas World and Buffet Lunch

This is the full Christmas day out from Levi — Santa Claus Village in the morning, Santa Park in the afternoon, buffet lunch included, and a return in good time for dinner.


Why This Is the Most Complete Christmas Day Trip from Levi

  • Santa Claus Village on the official Arctic Circle line — cross it at Santa’s door, receive your personal diploma
  • Pre-booked slot to Santa’s office — required for entry; walk-in visitors without a booking cannot enter
  • Santa Park entrance included — all attractions, a guaranteed family meeting with Santa, and the Underground Arctic Circle crossing
  • Buffet lunch in the main Santa Park restaurant — included in the price
  • 170 km from Levi with a guide who introduces the Village’s history along the way
  • Children can take their own photos freely with Santa and the elves throughout Santa Park


Santa Claus Village — The Arctic Circle, the Magic Path and the Post Office

The program begins at Santa Claus Village, directly on the Arctic Circle line 8 km from Rovaniemi. The guide introduces the Village’s history — it started with a single celebrity visit in 1950. Guests walk the Magic Path to Santa’s office, cross the Arctic Circle line at the door, and meet Santa personally inside.

After the meeting, there is free time in the Village: the Official Santa Claus Post Office, Finnish design shops, souvenir stores and cafés. Guests can send a postcard with the official Arctic Circle Post Office stamp or order a personal letter from Santa delivered before Christmas.


Photography at Santa’s Office

Inside Santa’s office at the Village, personal cameras and phones are not permitted. A professional elf photographer takes photos and video, available to purchase at the exit. Everywhere else — the Village, the Post Office, Santa Park and in transit — guests can photograph freely.


Santa Park — The Underground Christmas World

Santa Park is built inside a natural hill, a few minutes from Santa Claus Village. The entrance ticket covers all attractions:

  • Santa Park Exciting Show — performed on stage 3/4 times a day
  • Elf School Experience — with Elf School Diploma and Elf Trainee Hat
  • Magic Train Ride through the underground Christmas world
  • Virtual Christmas Sleigh Ride around the World
  • Handicrafts in Elf Workshops
  • Undercrossing of the Arctic Circle — the official underground crossing
  • Visit to Gingerbread Bakery — gingerbread decoration is an extra €5 per person
  • Guaranteed family meeting with Santa Claus in his Santa Park chamber
  • Visit to Elves’ Post Office
  • Toy Factory Shopping Area, Two Gaming Arenas, Santa’s Corner Shop


Buffet Lunch at Santa Park

Buffet lunch in the main Santa Park restaurant is included in the tour price. Desserts, coffee and additional drinks are at guests’ own expense.


Who This Is For

  • Families with children who want the most complete Christmas experience from Levi
  • Groups who want both the Village visit and the full Santa Park program in one day
  • Those who prefer having lunch included and a full structured day rather than free time in Rovaniemi
  • First-time visitors to Lapland who want to experience both iconic Santa destinations

        F.A.Q.

        • What is the difference between this tour and the Rovaniemi Day Trip?

        The Rovaniemi Day Trip includes Santa Claus Village, Santa’s office, the Post Office and free time in Rovaniemi city centre — but no Santa Park and no lunch included.
