Elf-tastic. - Really good for the kids. They thought the Elves were fun and loved their funny little noses. Enjoyed learning Elfvish, decorating cookies and dancing.

Elf for a day - Nice experience. A little too short and with just the 2 of us. It would have been better to have a full class. The girls, the elfs.... spoke English and explained us all. Really nice feeling of being welcomed.

Magical experience - Cutest activity we had in Rovaniemi! The elves were super nice, my daughter got to dance, skip, learn new words and decorate cookies. We were lucky to be the only ones at the show so we got all the attention and focus of the elves. My daughter got an elf hat and diploma. The entrance to the elf hat academy is magical, a Christmas tree labyrinth. I, as an adult, loved it!!!

Good fun - Very cool idea especially for the young ones in your family.
We found Sprinkles and Peabody to be quite entertaining.
Even the adults can participate in a limited way. We did the dance which was fun.
A good way to keep the magic of Christmas alive.

Lot of fun - Wish I was younger as this experience has to be magical for the little ones and I enjoyed it as an adult.
Sprinkles and Peabody were awesome.
While the adult participation was limited, it was still great fun.
We got to do the dance and got our hats and certificates.
No photos of the program to protect the magic.
Nice experience.

Anything but interactive - We paid 40e per peson for literally 20mins of simple cookie decorations in complete silence (luckily the radio was on all the time). The elf maybe said 5 sentences in total while glancing at the script at the begining and taught us 5 words in finnish (that we already knew, my kids are Finnish). There was no dancing, no singing at all. At the end of the cookie decoration she gave us simple elf hats and blank diplomas, so we can write our names and take them home... Definitely do not recommend.

Expensive for what you get - Very expensive for a family: for a very short experience suitable for children also adult have to pay. You learn 3 words in finnish, you can decorate a cookie with frozen decorations that doesn't work and make a dance at 40 euros each.

Total rip off - We paid for two adults and one child for this experience and thought that actually visiting Santa Claus Village in Lapland that this would be an amazing experience to cherish forever. How wrong we were.
Firstly, having paid for the whole family we expected that we would all take part in the academy - no, parents just sat at the back and paid a fortune for the pleasure. This was a total rip off.
The academy was actually a garden shed that we squeezed into. The elf then asked the children to repeat three Lapish words, learn a silly dance and place magnets on a board. We were given a biscuit to eat and a cheep cotton red hat was placed on our heads. It was such a joke and really not worth the money.
