点评:We visited here for the North Pole Adventure for the first time and had a mixed experience.
There were lovely points to the day, the main ones being:
- value, though not a cheap Christmas experience you could easily spend a full day enjoying the remainder of the site including a large soft play that our daughter really enjoyed.
- staff were friendly and enthusiastic throughout
- nicely paced, lots of different activities so our daughter didn't get too bored at each stage.
- A gluten free gingerbread was provided for the gingerbread activity which was a huge relief!
- the cafe has GF options and staff there did seem to be aware of cross contamination.
- Santa himself was really lovely and put a smile back on my daughters face. She said she knew he was real because of his moustache and boots matched when we saw him in Lapland in March. :)
However we felt let down by the following:
- My daughter is coeliac and her first experience with a food related activity (the sweet shop) left her very upset. There were no sweets she could have as all had a "May Contain gluten" warning on the label. She got very upset at this.
- staff in the hotel chocolate stand had little knowledge of allergens.
- although the gingerbread activity provided a GF alternative, the label carried limited ingredient information (which I'm not sure is even legal) and again one of the toppings contained gluten with no alternative. This upset her further and it did affect her ability to engage with the next few activities as she felt so disappointed and sad.

当天有很多美好的点,主要有:
- 物有所值,虽然不是便宜的圣诞体验,但您可以轻松花一整天时间享受场地的其余部分,包括我们女儿非常喜欢的大型软体游戏。
- 工作人员始终友好而热情
- 节奏很好,有很多不同的活动,所以我们的女儿在每个阶段都不会太无聊。
- 为姜饼活动提供了无麸质姜饼,这让人松了一口气!
- 咖啡馆有无麸质食物可供选择,那里的工作人员似乎确实意识到了交叉污染。
- 圣诞老人本人真的很可爱,让我女儿重新露出了笑容。她说,当我们三月份在拉普兰看到他时,他的胡子和靴子很相配,所以她知道他是真的。:)
然而,以下情况让我们感到失望:
- 我的女儿患有乳糜泻,她第一次体验与食物相关的活动(糖果店)让她非常沮丧。她没有可以吃的糖果,因为标签上都贴有“可能含有麸质”的警告。她对此非常不满。
- 酒店巧克力摊位的工作人员对过敏原知之甚少。
- 虽然姜饼活动提供了无麸质替代品,但标签上含有的成分信息有限(我不确定这是否合法),而且其中一种配料含有麸质,没有替代品。这让她更加不安,确实影响了她参与接下来几项活动的能力,因为她感到非常失望和难过。
