Santa Park

Santa Park is an underground Christmas amusement park built within a large cave system featuring festive attractions, workshops, and performances. Various themed areas throughout the complex offer different activities, and visitors can encounter Santa Claus in multiple locations.

The park opened in 1998 in a former military shelter carved into Arctic bedrock. The facility underwent operational changes over time as it developed into a major attraction for the region.

Finnish Christmas traditions come alive through elf activities, craft workshops where visitors create gifts by hand, and meetings with the local Santa figure known as Joulupukki. These customs shape how the park feels and how guests spend their time here.

The park is accessible year-round, but Christmas atmosphere and events are most active during colder months. Comfortable walking shoes are important since paths move up and down throughout the underground setting.

The entire facility occupies a former military bunker built deep within Arctic bedrock, which maintains a steady indoor temperature regardless of outside weather. This natural temperature control creates consistent conditions for visitors throughout the year.
