Finland · ZOOS
A Finnish week has fewer free days than it looks. These 15 wildlife parks justify the slot, priced and timed so the decision takes minutes rather than an evening.

Sleigh rides with huskies and reindeer plus a guided visit to Ranua Wildlife Park, where you can spot polar bears and Arctic animals.
“The husky and reindeer farms are beautiful. Really kind and helpful breeders who answered all our questions. Very bad zoo and buffet (especially if you are Italian, it's an option that I don't recommend: pizza made with ketchup instead of tomato sauce, little choice and poor quality. the worst buffet I have ever tasted in the world.) The zoo has few animals, most of them not visible, especially in this season. It's honestly not much worth the cost. In general the helpful guidance and activities done outside the zoo raised the bar that would otherwise have been very low.”

“Arnti (not sure if it’s correctly spelled) is a friendly and knowledgeable guide! Tour is as per described! As usual for the zoo visits, we don’t always get to see all the animals they got.. I didn’t get to see the moose, red foxes and brown bears (hibernating in winter). It’s -7degrees on our visit and thankfully we were ready for the weather. Overall a pleasant experience.”

“Had high expectations after seeing reviews and hearing recommendation It is a nice zoo. But it is a zoo. Animals are kept in cages with very little place to move around. It’s not a wildlife park. No animals are roaming free. The private tour was not worth it You can easily find your own way and enough signing tells you about different spiecies . It is a good zoo. And amazing nature around just expect a zoo not wildlife park”

“The pick was on time and friendly. Can’t remember the name of the driver. The zoo is excellent. Dress warmly. Hand warmers definitely recommended at this time of year. Amazing to see the animals and birds out in the cold. No polar bears and the brown bears were hibernating but that was okay. Great trail. Would highly recommend this tour!”
