Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What travellers are saying
- Tyler BTring, UK306 contributionsWe were staying in the Santa Claus Village but ventured into Rovaniemi to pick up our rented winter gear so decided to spend the morning in the city centre. The winter garden area outside the museum itself is well worth a visit with views over a frozen lake. The museum itself is good, if a little pricey.Written 21 February 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- RiddykinOulu, Finland83 contributionsFirstly I have to say the centre is quite small. That surprised us at first. But when you enter the exhibition you realise the interactivness is the key to a great visit. Every little detail is well thought through. You get to experience the Northern forests with all senses! Our family had a great few hours touching, smelling, feeling and learning - also singing karaoke and getting lost in the woods. 😄 The staff here is super: do ask them for guidance. Also the Pilke shop is a good spot to scout for souvenirs.Written 12 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- B TLondon, UK1,140 contributionsI thought this was the best part of Santa's village. The prices of some of the souvenirs seemed cheaper than other places at Santa's village and it was not as crowded with merchandise. There is a cafe to eat and you could meet Santa here. The queues were shorter than at Santa's office.Written 30 November 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- DavvebieggaGermany152 contributionsI stayed in Rovaniemi for over a week and took the bus from the center to visit the Forest Museum in Pöykkölä. It's an interesting open air museum with a lot of buildings, boats and machines. It tells you a lot about the logging history in Finland.Written 24 October 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
