Santa Claus Village

Arctic tourist destination

Santa Claus Village is a Christmas-themed amusement park in Rovaniemi, Finland, situated on the Arctic Circle.

The park features Santa Claus's "official" home and post office, where visitors can meet Santa year-round and send letters with an Arctic Circle postmark.

It's become a major tourist destination, particularly popular with families: We took the kids to Santa Claus Village last December.
