Elf Hat Academy in Santas Village of Rovaniemi

I would not let my children do the Elf Hat Academy experience again. You come from far away, you participate once in your life and that time and the choice of an activity that will become a brick of memory have enormous value. 30 minutes in reality were maybe 20 in which you eat a cookie and a hat is given in the general acting. Half arrived at the meeting point late (lots of people not expected, we understand but they also finished earlier), everyone smiley and nice of course but I just want to be honest and not worth the money I would say. In short, a disappointing experience, for a family that loves Christmas, the spirit and magic of the Christmas season and who had already come 15 years ago, without children and dreamed this experience. Review with the aim of saving the season for you, which I hope will help the quality of the service. we will come back for sure because after all we loved Finland, its people and the way you rules it!

We paid 40e per peson for literally 20mins of simple cookie decorations in complete silence (luckily the radio was on all the time). The elf maybe said 5 sentences in total while glancing at the script at the begining and taught us 5 words in finnish (that we already knew, my kids are Finnish). There was no dancing, no singing at all. At the end of the cookie decoration she gave us simple elf hats and blank diplomas, so we can write our names and take them home... Definitely do not recommend.

Very expensive for a family: for a very short experience suitable for children also adult have to pay. You learn 3 words in finnish, you can decorate a cookie with frozen decorations that doesn't work and make a dance at 40 euros each.
