Step Into Your Own Christmas Fairytale

Far from busy paths, behind whispering trees and frozen lakes, lies Joulukka – Santa Claus Secret Forest, not found on any map, a place where lanterns glow, elves sing, and Christmas quietly comes to life. You may peek into a real Toy Factory, learn the ways of the elves, or discover how Christmas is truly made; the only place where its deepest mysteries come alive.

Each path through the forest unveils a part of Santa Claus story — perhaps the busy Toy Factory, the hidden Christmas Command Center, or the warm glow of Santa’s Forest Hut, where he rests between journeys.

Every visit is a chapter written just for your family, filled with moments that feel timeless and unforgettable.

Private Programs

Designed just for your family, these visits unfold at your own pace — personal, peaceful, and guided with gentle care by the elves.

Continue your journey underground to SantaPark – the Home Cavern of Santa Claus.

Beneath the Arctic Circle, the story continues in a world carved from stone and light. In this underground Christmas theme park, cheerful elves fill the air with laughter, workshops glow with colour, and Christmas sparkles in every corner. Where Joulukka feels personal and story-driven, SantaPark is lively and bright — two chapters of the same tale. One invites you into the heart of Santa Claus’s forest; the other celebrates his world deep underground. Together, they complete the story of Christmas.
