The best childrens activities in Lapland

When visiting Lapland there really is so much to see and do but for those with small children, you might want to consider that the temperatures will be extremely low and some trips are better than others in the very cold weather.  The huskier safaris are a great activity for small children as there are lots of opportunities to take small safaris that will not keep the children out too long. The husy safaris also give the children the chance to see and pet the husky puppies which are just adorable.

Snowmobiles are always very popular and the guides will insist that you all wear the proper thermal gear which they will provide but it is extremely cold out there in the forests of Lapland and can prove too much for small children. There are lots of activity centres that provide kids snowmobiles which are speed restricted and these are a great alternative, they allow the children to experience the snowmobiles without being out there too long. 

Cross country skiing is also a good option for the children as you can do as little or as much as you like and at many resorts there is the option to take shorter or longer trips which means you can stop off and have a bite to eat if the children get too cold or tired.  Cross country skiing can be done as an alternative to other activities and the equipment can be hired for a small price,

Visiting Santa is a must whilst in Lapland and this is one activity that the children will definitely want to do. There are usually different ways you can see Santa, either by visiting him at Santa’s house or having Santa come to you.

Reindeer rides are also very popular in Lapland and are a great activity for the children. The whole family can sit in the Reindeer sleigh covered in Reindeer blankets as the Reindeer takes you on a ride through the forests of Lapland.

There are lots more things that the children and the whole family can become involved in and the ones that I have mentioned above are just some of the popular activities on offer in Lapland.  There are also lots of opportunities to sledge in Lapland and whatever resort you visit, you will find  sledge runs all over the place. Children can just grab a sledge and have fun which is what a holiday to Lapland is all about.
