点评:I had such high hopes for this experience - with it being the pinnacle of our Lapland trip. It was recommended by a friend - but our experience was one I would not recommend. The elves were great and the location was picturesque. However we were the last of 9 families to go through the house to meet Santa and it felt like because of this we were completely rushed through. When we finally got to Santa - he was totally unimpressive and seemed bored. There was no effort to make any personalisation with the kids or particular conversation. We were rushed through, given a toy and shown the back door to leave where we were whisked off onto the bus where everyone else was waiting for us to leave.
I was so upset I cried - to me these experiences hold the magic of Christmas in their hands and I felt so let down. Luckily my kids were too young to notice - but after the price for 4 of us, I am just now angry and sad. Please if you are reading this - I just hope they do not make these mistakes again with such young hearts at stake. It doesn’t take a lot to spend 5 mins with the kids or find out something to make it special beforehand. I would sadly say - don’t waste your money or put your hopes into this experience.
翻译:我对这次体验寄予厚望,认为它是我们拉普兰之旅的巅峰之作。这是朋友推荐的,但我并不推荐我们这次的体验。精灵们很棒,地点也风景如画。然而,我们是9个家庭中最后一个进入房子见圣诞老人的,感觉就像被匆匆带走了一样。当我们终于见到圣诞老人时,他完全没有给人留下深刻印象,而且看起来很无聊。他们没有为孩子们提供任何个性化的陪伴,也没有进行任何特别的对话。我们被匆匆带走,给了一个玩具,然后带我们从后门离开,然后被迅速带上巴士,其他人都在等着我们离开。
我难过得哭了——对我来说,这些体验本身就蕴藏着圣诞节的魔力,我感到非常失望。幸运的是,我的孩子们还太小,没有注意到——但考虑到我们四个人的花费,我现在感到愤怒和难过。如果你正在读这篇文章,我只希望他们不要再犯同样的错误,不要让这些幼小的心灵再次受到伤害。和孩子们一起度过5分钟,或者提前了解一些特别的体验,其实并不需要花费太多。不过,我还是要说一句——别浪费钱,也别对这种体验抱有太大希望。
