1) I didn't come here to eat, but to see what Santa's seaside office looks like and whether it can be considered Santa's holiday area.
2) As soon as I pushed the door open, a boy in an elf costume came out to greet me warmly. He was also very interesting and his tone was always upbeat. He first introduced that there were hot drinks, cookies and snacks at the door, and asked if I needed any. Seeing that I hesitated for a moment, he immediately took me inside. He first introduced the lobby, where I could rest. Then he took me to the steps of the back 1/3 area, which was separated by a screen and decorated in a childlike manner. There was a countdown sign on the wall, showing how many days there were until the next Christmas. Under the sign was a signature book. There was a velvet chair in the middle, where Santa sat when he came to work. There were many small decorations around.
3) This place is only open for 6 months a year, 4 months in winter (for example, 2017.12.18-2018.4.14), and 2 months in midsummer. This winter, the business hours are from Monday to Saturday from 11 to 16 o'clock.
4) Because the kitchen is small, only simple snacks and drinks are provided, as well as some small souvenirs such as refrigerator magnets. However, the entire place can be booked, which can seat 30 to 50 people. There is a western restaurant next to it. If you want to hold a dinner party, you can prepare the main meal there and bring it over. You can also invite Santa Claus to fly over from Rovaniemi to help you out. If you need to make a reservation, please email sales@visitkemi.fi.
5) When I went there, I was the only tourist. I asked the "elf" how to choose the actor who plays Santa Claus. The "elf" said: There is only one Santa Claus. For me, it is him, no one else! - Well, I won't challenge your belief. . .
