“For us it was the most comfortable way to visit Ranua, as we were picked up at our hotel (some activities offer pick-up only in some places mainly in the center). It was really just a transfer and the entrance tickets but I read reviews of a guided tour and for some it was too quick and for others too slow so we decided to enjoy it with my Mom on our own speed. In the van it was a quite bumpy and I’m pregnant, luckily 2nd trimester but I do not recommend it in the 1st, especially with complications and/or previous miscarriages! Also this tour gave us a bit…”

“The zoo trip was great in particular they had snow compared to where we were in santa village.

The zoo itself is different to conventional zoos where there are huge enclosures for the animals. We saw about half the animals as during winter some of them were asleep. The sweet shop there is very reasonable priced in comparison to santavillage where the same box sweets were 5e in zoo n 16e in santa village. The gift shop n resteraunt have a huge selection of food.

Review of a private Ranua Zoo tour from Rovaniemi, with a forest walk, Arctic animals, hotel pickup, buffet lunch, and practical value advice.

“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”
