Good Points


On the plus side - the ice skating was great (but costs between 5 and 10 pounds in a normal rink and only 10 pounds in Hyde Park!)
Also the day was very efficient.


General Comments

Before you open Lapland UK this year please take note of the points:

1) The price - 85 pounds was far too much and why should adults pay the same as children?
2) Snow - if you are going to charge that much hire a snow machine - even my 3 year old wasn't impressed with the "bubble" snow
3) Location - because the village was lower down than the car park it could be seen! How do you explain that to a 7 year old?
4) Exit - should not be the same way as the entrance - you need to feel that you have left Lapland. This didn't work - especially walking onto a muddy path.
5) Father Christmas visit - again the entry and exits - why the same way? While the Australian Mother Christmas we had was excellent - the Father Christmas had the memory of Dory the fish in Nemo - he had to keep looking at his notes and had no "Saami" accent.
6) Elf helpers - some were excellent, others (mainly young lads) thought it was all a great laugh and did not appreciate the idea of the magic you were aiming to create. Maybe offer bonus pay for the leader elves and keep monitoring them during their 2 months of work.
7) Environmental angle - If you are using this as your main publicity don't use disposable plastic containers for the meals.
8) The experience is actually one for the whole family and you need to work on convincing the adults of the magic of Lapland.
9) Gifts - teddies for the under 5s fine but older than that - think again.


Far too expensive.
