Best age for Lapland when they still believe

[redjumper]

I've always dreamt of taking my children to Lapland, since well before they were born!

I now have 3 children and I'm wondering what age would be best to go. I was thinking maybe aged 3, 5 and 7 to catch the eldest before he's too old. Then maybe again at 6, 8 and 10 for the youngest. What do people think. Or maybe we should just go once at the older age range? Id prefer it to be a once in a lifetime thing so its really special but they definitely all have to be old enough to remember. What age do they stop believing? And does that matter so much anyway for Lapland? It looks like a magical holiday anyway.

We went to Disney land Paris when ours were 1,3 and 5. We had a fabulous time and the older one got so much out of it. But obviously the little one didn't remember it, so we went again when they were 4, 6 and 8 and we didn't find it as magical as the first time.
I'd go for 5,7 and 9. Even if your 9 year old doesn't still really believe, they will be young enough to be carried along with the theme and they will still enjoy the magic. I've heard from others that meeting Father Christmas 'for real' can bring back the belief for another year or so.

WE went when our boys were aged 8&9 and thought this was a great age
I personally wouldn’t go with a child younger than 5
It’s cold and a long day for them

Went last Christmas for 4 days actually covering Christmas Day/Boxing Day. Mine were 9 & just 6, was fab, def once in a lifetime and they were the perfect age. Wouldn't take an under 5 to be honest, to cold and lots of faff getting them in and out of suits and boots!!

When I investigated last year lots of the activities, (sledging etc) were unsuitable for an under 4, so that might restrict your choice. I’d love to take mine but always wonder if it’s going to be the last Christmas with the very elderly grandparents and chicken out.

I'm taking my girls to lapland this year, they're 3 and 5, but they don't know that yet. We're going to surprise them :D
