The animals live in spacious fencings in as authentic environment as possible. Strolling through the wildlife park feels like taking a walk in a Lappish forest.
A magical meeting
A hidden hut, smoke coming out of the chimney, who may live in here, hidden away? And did we just see an elf, disappearing toward the hut? Let your children discover, who is keeping warm in the hut, perhaps you are invited in, for a story of your lifetime? Is it Santa himself, waiting with the presents?
