★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,326 reviews · 4 hours · from $141Our pick

“Amazing time feeding the reindeers - not rushed and able to take plenty of photographs - kids loved it. Nice food, although could have offered second portion, and plenty of hot drinks. Not too far on the coach - 35 mins or so. Meeting point instructions could be clearer - it is underground, on the side of the bus station closest to the harbour.”
