How many families do you know that have been to Lapland?

I think it’s got more popular over the years.

I don't know of anyone who has been to Lapland.

About 4 that I'm aware of. Seems a ridiculously expensive and wasteful thing to me, but perhaps I'm just a stooge.

2, both said it was amazing.
Hope to go when we have grandchildren

Lapland - yes
Tourist village in Lapland - no

None.

There were some people flying out for the day at Birmingham airport when we were there last December.

It seemed a very long (and expensive) day from our chat in the (massive) queue for security!

None.

1 that I know of. Maybe more, it’s not really a subject that comes up much tbh! 😄

I don't know any parents that have been to Lapland. Lapland experience in the UK yes but not actual Lapland, it's extortionately expensive.

Three.

None

None. I know a couple of friends have considered it but not booked.

My daughter’s friend went a couple of times with her family and my sister took her kids once.

1, I think they enjoyed it.

None

One & they loved it

None.

One I think that saw FC. She plastered it all over Facebook, that's how I know. No one else has ever said.

Oh I know two adult couples that went to stay in the ice hotel as a bucket lost item. That might have been lapland too? Not sure. They didn't do FC

We went to Lapland skiing in January before we had a child but did lots of the excursions it was amazing and would love to go again with DS

I know of a couple, but my DC are older so this would have been around 5-7 years ago.

I’ve been with my best friend - loved it and hope to go back. We stayed 3 nights I think maybe 4.

i know of 3 others that ‘holidayed’ and 2 that have day tripped

None, but I'm not sure why you're asking? you're not going to get a statistically reliable cross section on which to base a decision.

I don't know anyone apart from us. We've been to Swedish lapland (Kiruna), Norwegian lapland (Tromso) and this year we're going to Finnish lapland (Rovaniemi). Scandinavia isn't cheap but t's doable if you don't do the whole tourist package to Santa or stay in a glass igloo. We get cheapish flights, use local transport, stay in Airbnb's and get some of our food at the supermarket. We have visited Ice hotels, husky sleighed, fed reindeer/eaten reindeer, gone aurora hunting and done some fantastic sledging. It's pretty magical but I wouldn't spend thousands for a couple of days on the package tours personally.

We have and I know 2 others who have. We did it without a package ( air b and b, hired a car, flights and all trips booked separately) we did a lot of shorter tasters, and brought ticket direct. We all want to go back but this time without all the Santa bits
