Elf the Santa's helper will make sure that the children are warm by offering hot berry juice. If you would like Santa to give presents to children, you can give them to guide when he picks you up from the hotel. After the meeting the guide will take you back to your hotel.

(In SantaPark every family is treated with a special care. Santa has his own office and there is only one family at the time in his office. So it is a private meeting between your family and Santa. An elf will take a photo of your family and Santa and if you want you can buy the picture to take home as a souvenir. If you can come on a weekday, then there is always much less people than on weekends. Especially Saturdays and Sundays are very busy and SantaPark can usually be open only from 9 am to 12 noon. The rest of the day is totally full booked for groups. The VIP- ticket includes almost everything, normal things which are already included in normal entrance ticket as well as those who will normally cost extra, like lunch, photo with Santa, tickets to Ice Gallery, Elf School Diploma etc. The VIP- tickets must be booked in advance. Check opening hours and other details on their homepage, please.
