The magic then continues after lunch as you journey to Santa's underground home cavern. This enchanting subterranean world is home to a magical train that will whisk you through wondrous landscapes. Become an honorary elf by graduating from Elf School and even cross the Arctic Circle underground to meet the Ice Princess.

You'll get to join the elves for some hands-on activities, before the big event: a private meeting with Santa Claus himself, in which each child will receive their own gift.
