Finland

Finland has plenty to keep kids entertained, whatever time of year you visit. Give them a choice of where and when to go, however, and they will invariably choose Lapland in winter. And who can blame them? Whether it’s a sleigh ride in search of Santa or a white-knuckle ride with a team of boisterous huskies, Finland’s northern extremity is the ultimate winter wonderland.
