Huomio

• Summer Magic in Rovaniemi is a summer reindeer experience, so it does not include a reindeer sleigh ride. Instead, guests have the opportunity to meet the reindeer during a completely different season of their annual life cycle.
• The experience takes place at Santa Claus Reindeer in Santa Claus Village, Rovaniemi, and transportation to the location is not included.
• Guests can visit between 10:00 and 16:00, offering flexibility when planning their day in Santa Claus Village.
• There is no need to rush your visit – travellers are welcome to spend time at the reindeer fence, observe the animals and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere at their own pace.
• Follow the instructions of our staff when approaching and interacting with the reindeer. Reindeer welfare and respectful animal encounters are always our priority.
• The programme takes place outdoors, so we recommend checking the weather forecast and dressing for changing Lapland summer conditions.
• Children must be accompanied by an adult while visiting and interacting with the reindeer.
• As reindeer are living animals, their behaviour and willingness to interact can vary naturally from day to day – this is part of experiencing authentic reindeer life in Lapland.
