Good to Know

  • The sledge rides are snow-dependent. In the snow-free months operators run wheeled-cart and farm-visit versions instead — check the date you select before booking.
  • Entry to Santa Claus Village is free; meeting Santa is free. The official photo and video package is charged separately by Santa Claus Office and is not part of this tour.
