Because Not All Family Holidays Are Created Equal

*All things Winter Family Lapland at Activities Abroad is now supported here at The Aurora Zone.*

Let us tell you a secret… not all family holidays to Lapland are the same.

At The Aurora Zone, we’ve spent over a decade crafting unforgettable family adventures. We’re experts not just in the Northern Lights, but in everything that makes Lapland magical, including exciting winter activities, cosy accommodations, local culture and the insider knowledge that makes every detail stress-free.

A Break From Everyday Life

Life as a parent is full-on. School runs, work deadlines, endless clubs and activities. Sometimes, there’s barely time to sit down together, let alone escape. That’s why so many families choose The Aurora Zone.

A Lapland holiday is your chance to press pause on the chaos, leave the to-do lists behind and enjoy uninterrupted time with the people who matter most.

We’ve travelled with our own children, so we understand what really matters. Fussy eaters? We’ve been there. Kids who won’t wear gloves? Ours too. Teens glued to their phones? Yep. And just when you’re about to meet Father Christmas – “I need a wee!” Don’t worry, we’ve prepared for that one too.

Why Families Trust The Aurora Zone

Because we’ve done it too

Our team have all travelled with their own children, so we’ve personally tested the husky safaris, the cabins and even the kids’ menus. We know what works for families, not just on paper, but in real life.

Because every family deserves peace of mind

Every partner, activity and place to stay is inspected and approved by us. Safety isn’t just a tick-box; it’s our promise.

Because time together is priceless

These are experiences you simply can’t replicate at home: chasing the Northern Lights, riding reindeer sleighs, sleeping under glass roofs as the Arctic sky dances above and meeting Father Christmas in his snowy homeland.

What Makes Our Family Holidays Special

  • Magical Experiences for Kids – Bring your children’s dreams to life, meet Father Christmas in his homeland, decorate gingerbread cookies, ride reindeer sleighs and watch their eyes light up.
  • Family Adventures for All Ages – Race through snowy forests on husky sleds, try snowshoeing or ice fishing, or simply enjoy snowball fights in the Arctic air. Whether your family loves gentle fun or full-on adventures, there’s something for everyone.
  • Relaxation for Parents – After a day full of excitement, unwind in cosy log cabins or glass-roofed Aurora suites. Enjoy delicious meals, warm spaces and the joy of simply being together.
  • Learning and Discovery – Lapland isn’t just magical, it’s educational too. Discover the science behind the Northern Lights, learn about Sami culture and explore the unique Arctic wildlife.
  • Peace of Mind and Stress-Free Planning – We take care of everything, transfers, guided activities, winter clothing, meals and accommodation, so you can focus on making memories, not managing logistics.

For over a decade, we’ve been crafting seamless, safe and magical family adventures across Lapland…

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Deborah Finlayson – Northern Lights Village Levi – Father Christmas & Aurora Hunting
“We absolutely loved our holiday – it was all amazing, but the huskies and snowmobiles were real highlights. The elves on the Santa trail were brilliant with the kids, so funny and engaging, and made the experience truly magical for the whole family. Everyone we met was so helpful and welcoming, making this one of the best holidays we’ve ever had.”

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5/5 Kalli Catcott – Northern Lights Village Saariselkä: Tailor Made
“I loved watching the kids having such a great time in the heated sledge on the way to and from ice fishing, and it was wonderful to see them make new friends during the trip. Visiting the Sami Siida Museum in Inari was another highlight, and our guide Katie made it fascinating by pointing out details we might have missed. The whole experience was made even better by the helpful reception team and fantastic guides like Victor and Katie, who ensured our family got the most out of every activity.”
