Tips & Advice
- Book online or at a Garda Trentino Info Point by the day before, since same-day bookings at the house depend on places still being free.
- Choose your date and turn carefully when you book, because dates and times cannot be changed once the booking is made.
- Arrive early in your turn so there is time for the workshops, the sleigh license and a show before the house closes.
- Remind children to ask for a stamp in their Creative Elf Passport at the end of every workshop they complete.
- Leave time for the snack break with hot chocolate, waffles and krapfen, and for photos in elf hats and scarves at the photo corner.
