I went this year, it's amazing. We are a group of 10.
My DD and DIL both managed to get Tickets for us all groups of 6 and 4, you must have at least one child in your group, they luckly got same time slot. My DD contacted the "Elves" at Lapland via email who joined us together in the same group.
You go in as ( this year it was) a Rudie or Husky group. We both were in Rudie section.
This is a "holding area" you are entertained until everyone is in. Then you go into the enchanted forest in your groups. They have 2 section, all working in parallel, so it's easy to mix in your group.
It is absolutely stunning, the children loved it, so did the big people.
Apprently it was reported in a paper you had more chance of getting Taylor Swift tickets than Lapland Uk this year. It is very expensive depending when you go, but worth every penny.
The children are treated so well, it starts with Santa contacting them around October to invite them to help him. It's all magical.
We hope to go again in a few years time, when the baby we took will be able to enjoy it.
People travel for hours to get there, I can understand why.
My tip, once tickets open get on line that second.
Also a new one opening near Manchester for 2025, so tickets might be easier to get. Enjoy you will.
