What is the Lapland Experience?

The Lapland adventure begins when your Small Folk receive a personalised invitation from Father Christmas, who has specially chosen them to help the Elves with their toy-making this Christmas.

Your visit to Lapland is a 4- 5 hour journey along the magical pathways of the Elven World. The first part of the experience is a 90-minute theatrical, scripted adventure across different scenes. You begin in the Elven Bazaar, Pathway Control, and Eeko's Enchanted Glade. Your Small Folk then help in the spectacular Lapland Toy Factory - before moving on to the warm and cosy Lapland Bakery for gingerbread decorating with Mother Christmas and her cheerful bakery Elves.

Next, your family are invited to explore the Elven Village for up to 90-minutes. Small Folk can post letters to Father Christmas at Elva’s Post Office, ice-skate on the frozen pond, or enjoy a treat at Pumpernickel’s Restaurant or Pixie Mixie’s Sweetshop. Families can also browse festive decorations, toys, and gifts in the Elf Emporium.

Your journey then continues past Little Rudi's Stables and Father Christmas’ sleigh to the highlight of the visit: meeting Father Christmas in his Snowy Cabin. Your Small Folk will delight in receiving a Golden Bell to become an “Honorary Elf,” and each Small Folk is gifted a beautiful Husky toy to treasure as a keepsake of their magical visit.

As the day comes to an end, Big Folk collect the family keepsake photograph and a special bag containing the toy your Small Folk made in the Lapland Toy Factory, to go with a personalised postcard from Father Christmas thanking them for their splendid help, allowing the magic to continue all the way to Christmas morning when the Toy Factory toy is presented to them.
