Rovaniemi: Trip to Ranua Zoo with Tickets

/ August 15, 2026

1.Trip to Ranua Zoo with Tickets

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

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…”

Rovaniemi: Arctic Animals Sleigh Rides and Wildlife Zoo

/ August 15, 2026

3.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.”

“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.”

Private Ranua Zoo tour from Rovaniemi with pickup, 2.5 km forest walk, buffet lunch, and admission included for an easy Arctic day.

“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”
