Santa Claus Holiday Village Safaris · Joulumaantie 20, the village
A private meeting with Santa at a time you book, sold by Santa Claus Holiday Village Safaris, in its own room a short walk from Christmas House. Pick it in the December rush when a queue would not work for your family: you arrive five minutes early and walk straight in.
You choose a date and time, arrive five minutes before your slot and get about ten minutes with Santa: time to tell him about the year and the wish list. An elf takes a family photo and prints it on the spot, and one A5 print is included; more photo products are on sale there. Your own photos and videos are not allowed in the room. The price is $290 per group of up to five, not per person, so it works out better for a family of four or five than for a couple.
Read where it is. This is not Santa Claus Office and not the Christmas Express Pass. The meeting takes place in a private location separate from Christmas House; the listing gives Joulumaantie 20 as the meeting point and names the Congress Building, next to the grocery store behind Christmas House Restaurant. Check your confirmation for the exact room. The listing sells it for the busiest Christmas season.
For context: Entry to Santa Claus Village is free, and so is the regular meeting with Santa at Santa Claus Office: no ticket and no booking, you join the queue in opening hours. Santa Claus Office says to allow about an hour in the queue inside in December, and on the busiest days the free entry times handed out at the small red cabin by the Arctic Circle line can run out after midday. Santa Claus Office's own pre-booked option is the Christmas Express Pass at EUR 500 per family of up to eight, with around five minutes with Santa and digital photos and a video included. This listing is the smaller-group alternative inside the village, with a printed photo instead of a download. It cancels free up to 24 hours before.
