Tips & Advice

  • Check the weekly schedule before setting out: the village is closed Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, so visits are limited to Thursday through Sunday.
  • Arrive Thursday after 14:00, as that day's opening begins in the afternoon and the village closes at 19:00.
  • On Fridays, plan for the 11:00 opening; Saturdays and Sundays open at 10:00, giving more of the day to explore.
  • Leave time for the planetarium and Santa's House, which operate from 11:00 to 19:00 on open days.
  • Allow time to explore the village's more than 10,000 square metres, rather than trying to see its attractions in a quick stop.
