About an hour's drive from Rovaniemi, Ranua Wildlife Park is home to more than 50 species of Arctic animals, including polar bear, wolverine, grey wolf, and arctic fox, living in spacious, natural enclosures surrounded by Nordic forest.
Walk the zoo's trails with your guide, taking as much time as you need to capture exquisite photographs of these Northern animals.
Your guide shares detailed insight into the animals and their habitats along the way, including fun facts such as reindeer growing a new pair of antlers every year, the fastest-growing bone on the planet.
You'll also learn about the park's conservation work: caring for injured or endangered animals, some rescued from the wild, with guidance on how to help protect Arctic species.
Before heading back to Rovaniemi, there's time to browse nearby boutiques for Fazer sweets, local delicacies, and souvenirs.
