Visit Santa Claus at his Village in Lapland.

Santa always knows if you have been Naughty or Nice, and once a year, the jolly old man dressed in red visits those Nice children with presents. Children all over the world try to catch a glimpse of him as he climbs down through the chimney, but does your child know that waiting up past midnight is not the only way to see Santa Claus? While he only comes to your house once a year, you can visit him at his home throughout the year.
