Elf’s Farmyard

In Santa Claus Village at the Arctic Circle, you’ll find the welcoming Elf’s Farmyard (Finnish: Tallitontun piha). Visit and feed our kindly reindeer and meet fluffy alpacas, pony, goats, sheep, rabbits, donkeys and different birds. Kids love them and they love kids!  You can watch domestic animals in their daily activities under Arctic weather conditions and, best of all, you can feed reindeer!

Enjoy winter fun by coasting down the little hill on site! Guests can also use our Lapland hut (kota) & campfire / barbecue.

As an extra service, Elf’s farmyard also offers nice reindeer and alpaca walks in the forests of Santa Claus Village and pony riding with our lovely pony. These activities must be booked in advance from our online shop.

You are warmly welcome!
