Ranua: Wildlife Park Entrance Ticket

/ August 15, 2026

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.”

Rovaniemi: Arctic Animals Sleigh Rides and Wildlife Zoo

/ August 15, 2026

4.Arctic Animals Sleigh Rides and Wildlife Zoo

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 91 reviews · 7 hours · from $340

Experience Ranua Wildlife Park and Arctic animal farms near Rovaniemi, with husky and reindeer sleigh rides plus a Lappish buffet lunch.

“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 49 reviews · 5 to 6 hours (approx.) · from $174Top rated

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…”

Rovaniemi: Ranua Wildlife Park Experience

/ August 30, 2026

13.Ranua Wildlife Park Experience

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 18 reviews · 5 hours · from $105

Guided trip from Rovaniemi to Ranua Wildlife Park for polar bears, 50+ Arctic animals, scenic driving, and photo time in Finland’s north.

“It was a pleasant experience. The guide was friendly and transportation was comfortable. As it's winter, quite a fair bit of animals went hibernating. Nonetheless, there are still reasonable number of winter animals which are still active or available for viewing. There is a candy shop which sells quite a variety of chocolates, the price was more reasonable and options were surprising more than what we could find in rovaniemi's supermarkets. Hence, if you are a chocolate lover do consider buying there. Beside this shop there is also a restuarant serving buffet at a reasonable price. Overall, this trip is worthwhile to explore if you have extra time to spare.…”
