Why Haltiala
When Santa was looking for a farm in the capital, he wanted more than just cozy barns and green pastures. He wanted a welcoming place in Northern Helsinki where families could slow down, enjoy nature, and experience real farm life—just a short trip from the city center. Haltiala was the perfect fit.
At Haltiala Farm, visitors can meet sheep, cows, goats, ponies, and even curious alpacas! Santa’s elves love hanging out here because it is all about good fun, warm smiles, and creating happy memories together. It’s a peaceful spot where a quick visit easily turns into a special memory.
