Hi,
We went with Canterbury Travel with then 4yr old DD. It was a very special trip, she does remember it so that’s a bonus as I was worried we went too soon!
The flight over was on a Jet2 plane, air stewards played games with the children (and grown ups!), Christmas music was on and as we approached the pilot came on to get everyone to look out the window for Santa. It really added to the experience.
We were all kitted up at the airport, the staff took one look at us and knew our sizes! Boots, snowsuits etc.. . We then had a snowmobile ride over to the main location, personally that was my favourite bit. The scenery in the snow was wonderful. Very cold though - we were under blankets!
When we arrived we did the sleigh rides, husky dog rides, looking round the little shops and of course seeing the main man himself. This was another snow mobile ride away in a lodge in a forest, guided there by an elf who skipped through the snow to take us to him. Santa was magical, he read very well and very clearly a four year olds writing and attempt at spelling! And knew all the toys she wanted ( well I suppose he should! 🤣).
We ate at a restaurant, that was busy, also trying to use a very small toilet with a 4year old whilst de-kitting snow suits and thermal layers was a mission but just about manageable!
We were delayed coming home as the runway was frozen so many tired grumpy small children including our own but the flight home was surprisingly quiet with everyone fast asleep.
All in all it was a wonderful day and we have some great photos, I would highly recommend. There were kids of all ages there enjoying the sledging and rides.
hope this helps!
