Shocking cost of Lapland UK visit revealed as huge price of tickets mean it’s cheaper to travel to Arctic to meet Santa
VISITING Lapland UK can be more expensive than flying to the Arctic Circle.
Tickets to the festive experience this Saturday are selling for as much as £180 each.
There are no discounts for children, a £24.75 booking fee and £5.95 postage and packaging.
It means a family of five would have to spend more than £930 for their day out.
But a few days in the real Lapland, in northern Finland, can cost in the region of £600.
Lapland UK has a site in Siddington, Cheshire, and another in Ascot, Berks.
One dad, who asked not to be identified, said: “When I saw the price I spat my mulled wine out.
“It’s obscene pricing, meaning only rich kids get to have the thrill.”
Danielle Halliday said: “We went to Finland last year with two adults, two children.
“Flights were £250, accommodation was £350 for the four nights and going to see Santa is free, or €10 each for a present.
“You might as well go for the real thing for a cheaper price.”
Lapland UK was asked to comment.
