What Age is Best For Lapland?

Santa’s Lapland is a magical place for children of all ages, from two upwards. You know your child best, but we recommend that it is typically children between the ages of 5 and 9 who have the most memorable experience. Young enough for the magic, yet old enough to remember it.

If your child is under the age of 2, then there are a few other things you might want to consider first.

  • The cold weather may affect your little one more. Very young children might find it too cold with temperatures reaching -30°C
  • They might get overwhelmed by all the magic. This is because our adorable huskies and mischievous elves can be very energetic and excitable.
  • Not all activities are suited for infants. For example, they'll be too small to ride the toboggan, mini skidoos or take part in reindeer mini golf.
  • We can’t guarantee the availability of a snowsuit for under 2’s so you would need to provide your own suitable snowsuit.

Is Santa’s Lapland suitable for children with sensory processing needs?

We want to make sure each family enjoys making cherished memories in Lapland. For children with sensory processing needs, the festive Lapland environment may be very different from their everyday life.

We’ve put together two helpful guides to assist with planning your trip: one for the Santa’s Magic package and one for the Santa’s Aurora package. These guides detail what to expect and tips for ensuring your trip is as enjoyable and comfortable as possible.
