The 15 Best Ranua Wildlife Park Day Trips

46 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.7 average  ·  from $31

Eighty kilometres south of Rovaniemi, and the only place in Finland with polar bears. It is an outdoor park built for Arctic animals, so a cold clear day is the good one. These 15 split between plain entry tickets and trips with the transfer and lunch attached.

Ranua: Wildlife Park Entrance Ticket

1.Wildlife Park Entrance Ticket

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 323 reviews · 1 day · from $31Our pick

Ranua Wildlife Park ticket in Lapland: 3 km forest walk, Finland's only polar bear, 50+ arctic species, open year-round.

“Really enjoyed the Park, such a lovely day. It’s very big so worth the £19.50 entrance fee. The atmosphere of the Park is so quiet and tranquil, it’s lovely and peaceful. Didn’t get to see the Polar bear unfortunately, he was probably inside keeping warm ☺️!! I don’t like zoo’s with animals in captivity but there’s lots of space for the animals which is good. You can come and go as much as you like so that’s also good. Think there could be more variety in the cafe though. Overall, brilliant day and would say it’s a must see.”

“Its cool if you like to see animals - I personally like the snow owls the most! However, some animals may be shy to show up so don't put too high expectations for being able to see all the animals. The park has very nice winter view too.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 162 reviews · 5 hours · from $116

Half-day trip from Rovaniemi to Ranua Zoo for 60+ Arctic species, including Finland’s rare white bear, with skip-the-line tickets and pickup.

“We booked this tour for $232.32 for two people, the total includes our Amex Platinum discount. The ticket to the zoo itself is valued at $30 per person, so this deal is INCREDIBLE, especially considering that taking an Uber from our resort, Apukka Resort, would have cost over $230 one way! Our group consisted of 8 people in total: our party of 2, one solo traveler, two guys and a group of 3. Our driver, Uncle Alex, had a very quiet demeanor but a truly warm personality! He reminded me so much of my own uncle! He was easygoing and friendly! Seeing all the arctic animals at Ranua Zoo was…”

Guided Ranua Wildlife Park tour from Rovaniemi with hotel pickup, buffet lunch, and Arctic animal viewing in a small group.

“We went to the Ranua Wildlife Park with Tania, and this was honestly an amazing experience. She took the time to walk us through each exhibit and gave us so much insight about every animal, their habitats, where they can be found, and how they relate to Finland and the Arctic Circle. I’ve never had such an insightful and dedicated tour guide. Tania was clearly passionate about what she does and genuinely cared about sharing not just facts, but also the culture and history of the land with us. This isn’t your typical zoo visit. It felt meaningful, thoughtful, and personal. If you’re planning to visit Ranua, I highly recommend…”

“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.”
