Visitors can browse Scandinavian-style huts offering high-quality toys, Christmas decorations, and handcrafted items while enjoying treats like Dutch poffertjes, roasted almonds, sausages, and hot caipirinhas. Families can also explore a dedicated fairytale forest featuring miniature displays, toy trains, a life-size moose, and a dancing Santa Claus.
