Going from last years prices think I will need to start saving for 4 of us to go this year!!

Anyone know exactly how much it was last year?

We've been before & as a result get e-mail ads each year, last years quoted £75 pp, not sure if thats standard pricing or an offer

Do make sure you go the the REAL Lapland UK though, we got caught out first time round with what became know as "Crapland UK" - though that was obviously the worst case scenario, but Bewely Water was really lovely, we all enjoyed it immensely :)

Thanx rockinhippy, thought it would be around that price.

Phew! It'd better be good!!

OUt of interest, what did you like most about it and how old are your DCs?

Ours will be 4 and 6.

Weirdly theres nothing particularly outstanding about it in the way of technical tricks etc, its just has a pure old fashioned real Christmassy feel to it, staff were all great & obviously love what they do, which shows in how the kids interact with them :)

DD was 6 when we took her & she fell for it hook line & sinker & really thought she'd just met the REAL Santa & he knew all about her :)( you fill a form in with your DCs likes & what they are good at etc) - which was brilliant as after a bad experience at the crapland place that was all over the news, she was having nightmares about Xmas & thought Santa was cruel to animals & would hurt our Cats :( - Santa was extra brilliant with DD as I'd let them know about this & he even told her about the Goblins who were trying to steal Xmas

You go in through a big Yurt, think you are hanging around keeping warm & then an "Elf" pops up & signals you to quietly follow him through a secret door in the back of the tent - this takes you down an "underground tunnel" lit with fairy lights, with tree roots & the odd woodland (stuffed) animal - he explains this is the secret elf pathways & that it will take you to Lapland, its all done as if some big secret & that your DCs are the special chosen ones who get to go :)

then its Mother Xmas & helping make cakes & story telling, & then onto helping the Elves make toys - they get to hammer bits of Rocking horse together along with more tales

Its all very well done, very old style & to DCs VERY believable - then its wander around, see the Reindeer, pop into a Yurt & have a traditionally dressed Laplander tell you traditional Lapland tales, see very believable & very lovely Santa - good quality soft toy Husky & story book with DC in it - Photo shoot for lovely quality photo, which you buy afterwards - though IMHO for the price they could have included a free photo, thats probably my only complaint

You can ice skate with the Elves - which DD LOVED & they were fantastic with her, they really made an effort to take all the DCs around the rink at least once, - I'd happily go back myself & I hate Xmas :)
