Just looking for some reviews from people who have visited Lapland UK this year.
We are considering it for next Christmas with our girls who will be just shy of 5 and 2.5 years old.

I know it's expensive, so trying to work out if it's worth going at the above ages or Christmas 2025/2026

We went last year for the first time with DC aged 7 and 4. It was the most magical day - so much so that we went again this year! They whole set up is just fantastic and DH and I enjoyed ourselves just as much as the DC did. Well worth the money!

There were plenty of people there with very young children and I'm sure your youngest would enjoy it. If you only plan to go once though, I'd maybe wait another year so they can fully appreciate it. When we were on our way this year, my youngest (now 5) was telling us all about what he remembered from last year and it was amazing how much it had stuck with him! I don't think that would have been the case if he'd been under 3.

Just make sure you're online to book the tickets as soon as they're released!

I went when my children were 7, 5 and 2.

The 5 and 7 year old thought it was amazing- the real deal!!! The Santa was amazing- best we've ever had.
The 2 year old had a lovely day but was restless doing some of the activities and has no memory of it now.

It's an amazing day but very, very expensive- wouldn't bother spending a hundred pound on such a young one

Thank you both for your replies.
While I like to think it would be a one off, I know if it's amazing we would go again.

This year we've done a few Santa trips, festive days and light trails so I would sacrifice those for Lapland UK.

I might try for 2024 tickets and see how I get on

We went to LLUK this year, as well as in 2021.

It was magical the first year. Less so for our second visit. It’s exactly the same format every year. I wouldn’t go back for a third time.

We enjoyed the afternoon, but our Santa this year wasn’t great to be honest. He looked the part and said most of the things that I’d written down in advance, but he didn’t actually talk with my DC. It was more talking at them.

For £500 for the four of us, plus another £50 spent on the day, I don’t think it was worth the money.
