点评:This was our first time at Lapland UK after many positive recommendations from friends. It was on the whole a really great experience, and our kids particularly our 5 year old absolutely loved it and were immersed in the walkthrough. This is an elaborate sequence of mini shows with very high production quality as you progress through your travels into Lapland and ultimately an elven village with shops and skating, and then the man himself - FC. The whole day has a kind of immersive narrative that starts with an invitation you can deliver to your kids however you choose ahead of time, then the idea is the kids help the elves make a penguin toy for FC which ultimately you can deliver on Xmas eve after the visit. The kids love spotting the elves which they could identify from the pictures on the invite. It is very well designed and all fits together well as a holistic experience - most impressive were the creative attention to detail in the physical scenery, the shows particularly the effort on the set and lighting and a major effort made by all staff to create an experience from the elves. The FC was probably the best I've seen and you have the chance to prompt him with some personal facts ahead of time. This is 500% more than your typical Santa experience and it really was worth it as a one off. I heard some people checking in and mentioning they'd been a few times before. There is scope for some minor variations based on whether you are reindeer or husky group but I'm not sure I'd repeat it again too soon as feel it is done now especially for the cost, nearly a grand all in for the family.
Of course there are some areas for improvement. There was a definite sense of being pushed along quickly through the shows. Kids are meant to get a stamp each stage of the experience, and they rushed it in the toy shop so no stamps were given and the penguin making was very rushed which is a shame as it's the core part of the story/experience. Despite this the crowd is of manageable size and it didn't feel over crammed. You are given a time to exit the village and see FC. It gives you 60-90 minutes in the village which isn't really enough to do all the possibilities you'd like for example eat, skate, visit gift shop and write a letter. We had to skip the letter. Skating was really great. Finally we didn't really like the way we saw kids coming back from FC on our way down the magic paths to get there. Surely they could have let them exit down a separate path and isolated the experience a bit.
So overall I'd recommend it as a one off. Try to push your luck a bit and overstay in the village if you can because the conveyer belt feeling is there despite the staff/performer best efforts. Clearly they are there to max the cash possible in terms of throughput and prices on the day - as you might expect they push their luck a little on this bit but not significantly to the detriment of the total experience.
翻译:这是我们第一次来到英国拉普兰,之前我们得到了很多朋友的积极推荐。总的来说,这是一次非常棒的体验,我们的孩子,特别是我们 5 岁的孩子非常喜欢,沉浸在游览中。这是一个精心设计的迷你表演序列,制作质量非常高,随着您进入拉普兰,最终到达一个有商店和滑冰场的精灵村,然后是 FC 本人。整天都有一种身临其境的叙事,从您可以提前选择的任何方式发送给孩子的邀请开始,然后是孩子们帮助精灵为 FC 制作企鹅玩具,最终您可以在参观后的圣诞节前夕交付。孩子们喜欢发现他们可以从邀请函上的图片中识别的精灵。它设计得非常好,所有一切都很好地融合在一起,形成了一种整体体验——最令人印象深刻的是创造性地关注物理场景的细节,表演特别是在布景和灯光方面的努力,以及所有工作人员为创造精灵体验所做的巨大努力。 FC 可能是我见过的最好的,你有机会提前向他提示一些个人事实。这比你典型的圣诞老人体验要多 500%,作为一次性体验,它真的很值得。我听到一些人签到并提到他们以前来过几次。根据你是驯鹿组还是哈士奇组,可能会有一些细微的变化,但我不确定我是否会很快再来一次,因为我觉得现在已经完成了,尤其是考虑到成本,全家总共花了将近一千美元。
当然也有一些需要改进的地方。在表演中,有一种被快速推进的感觉。孩子们应该在体验的每个阶段都得到一个印章,他们在玩具店匆匆忙忙地做,所以没有给印章,企鹅的制作非常匆忙,这很遗憾,因为它是故事/体验的核心部分。尽管如此,人群还是可以控制的,感觉并不拥挤。你有时间离开村庄去看看 FC。它为您提供 60-90 分钟的村子游览时间,这实际上不足以让您完成所有您想做的事情,例如吃饭、滑冰、参观礼品店和写信。我们不得不跳过写信。滑冰真的很棒。最后,我们真的不喜欢看到孩子们从 FC 回来,然后沿着魔法路径前往那里。他们当然可以让他们从另一条路径离开,并稍微隔离一下体验。
所以总的来说,我建议将其作为一次性活动。如果可以的话,尝试稍微冒险一下,在村子里多呆一会儿,因为尽管工作人员/表演者尽了最大努力,但传送带的感觉仍然存在。显然,他们在那里是为了在当天的吞吐量和价格方面最大限度地赚钱——正如您可能预料的那样,他们在这方面有点冒险,但不会对整体体验造成重大损害。
