We came to Levi for snow, reindeer, huskies, snow-mobiles, northern lights, ski and sauna. I decided to book this activity as something a bit different. We had a very mixed group, including several who thought they wouldn’t enjoy a laser shooting game. However, EVERYBODY left wanting more. Our host, Viivi, has to be about the most enthusiastic person I have ever met. The venue and equipment were first class and put paintball and laser sites in the UK to shame!

Sensational ice sculptures! Excellent work of art with so many different character rooms. Ice slide was great fun! Ice bar is also worth a visit for a hot chocolate, hot berry juice or something stronger in an ice glass. Lots of photo opportunities. Well worth a visit at €16 each. We spent just over an hour here. Highly Recommended!
