Lapland - Anyone been?

[Boycey]

We've always intended taking the wee boy to see Santa at the North Pole but for one reason or other its always been put off til "next year". Hes now 9 going on 10 and starting to ask awkward questions so its probably this year or never. Any of you good folk been, is it a rip-off/waste of time or a real good experience for kids??  If you did go who'd you go with as there seems to be a wide variation of options and prices. Thinking of just a one day trip probably.

Ive had two brothers go who both reckoned it was really professional and good fun but a tad on the expensive side.  They also said their kids around 6-8 enjoyed it most, more than the youngest (3-4) or eldest (10)

That'd be a serious bummer alright.

Found one crowd who cost €2000 for the 3 of us but most of them seem to be dearer. Its ridiculous money but it'd be a once in a lifetime thing. Hard to feckin know.

Its 2,000 to see the real Santa Claus?? That is too expensive, get him presents indtead and tell him Santa doesn't exist and his wonderful parents paid for this.

We did it when our kids were 6 & 4, at the age ye are talking about i would say dont do it,it is too late and it is like tombstone, it has historical implications but ht w absoluteshie has been commercialized out of it.
