Whether you call him Father Christmas, Santa Claus, Kris Kringle or Saint Nicholas, the magic of Santa Claus is one of the most special parts of childhood. And what could be more exciting than taking a family vacation to the North Pole. Here you can meet the real Santa Claus in Lapland, Finland.
Although the real Santa may be the big draw card there are lots more fun and exciting family activities in Finland. Experiences vary from season to season but no matter when you visit you will be left with lots of amazing family memories.
Taking a ride on a husky sledge
One of the family tours we did during our stay was a Husky ride at Huskypoint. There may have not been snow but rushing through the wildflowers was still exciting. Hearing over 280 dogs howling with excitement when they knew a team was getting harnessed up for a ride was just as magic.
Finland left a big impression on every member of our family. It is the kind of destination which leaves a little bit of magic in your heart that you will treasure long after your children have grown up.
