2.Rovaniemi Santa Claus Village Husky Reindeer Farm Arctic Museum

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 84 reviews · from $298

Spend about seven hours exploring Rovaniemi with an English-speaking guide, from a short Ounasvaara forest walk to husky and reindeer sleigh rides, Santa Claus Village, and the Arktikum museum. Santa meetings are brief, and photos or videos may cost extra. Meet at the city-center office, not your hotel, and check the museum schedule before booking.

“We absolutely loved our day!!! Our guide Nicky was like part of the family and kept my 14, 10 and 3 year old interested all day. It made the day more magical having a guide so friendly & knowledgeable. From the winter trail, to the museum, to the remainder of the day at Santa Claus village- I would do this trip again tomorrow. Thank you for this experience!!”
