Welcome to the Magical World of Santa’s Elves at Santa Claus Safaris!

Step into a fairytale! At Santa Claus Safaris, located in Santa Claus Village, you’ll discover the enchanting world of Santa’s Elves, meet Santa’s beloved huskies and reindeer, and choose your own Elf adventure. You might even hear a few of Santa’s best-kept secrets along the way.

For the first time ever, the Elves’ once-secret Training Center is open to all. With an admission ticket, you’ll join the Elves for fun, hands-on challenges. Test your skills in precision gift sliding, try Santa’s sleigh ride simulator, and sneak through the Hide & Sneak obstacle course. Complete the tasks and receive your official Elf Diploma, earning the honorary right to serve as a helper elf anywhere in the world.

Relax at the Elf Café & Restaurant, open daily, offering a cozy Christmassy atmosphere, treats, drinks, souvenirs, and a daily lunch buffet. Upstairs, visit the free Elf Wish & Meet to meet an Elf, take a photo, and write a letter to Santa. This magic is for everyone.

Cliff Adventure Park Pyhäkuru is a unique cliffside experience in the Arctic fells of Pyhä, only 1.5 hours from Rovaniemi.

No experience is required, and both options are suitable for families, couples and adventure seekers. A comfortable Adventure Bus provides direct transport from Rovaniemi city center and Santa Claus Village in winter.
