I was lucky enough to travel to Swedish Lapland with Newmarket Holidays for the day from Exeter. An early departure from the UK gave us about 5 hours to enjoy Santa's Village which was a 5-minute drive from Pajala and North of the Arctic Circle.
It is a stunning area, covered with soft white snow and temperatures that are unbelievable! Daylight hours for this time of the year are short and just adds to the wonderful feel of this place.
Thermal Suits and boots are provided on arrival plus we wore lots of layers to keep warm. There was a welcome hot lunch and warm soup and cinnamon rolls served later in the afternoon plus Hot berry juice to top us up!
Snowmobiling, Tobogganing, Husky & Reindeer rides are packed into this fun day out - and to top it all - a chance to meet with Santa Claus!
A great day out that you would never forget however due to the length of the day and the really cold weather I would say it would be more suitable for slightly older children rather than infants.
