A forest trail, a polar bear lifting its nose to the air and a snowy owl quietly watching from its perch. A day at Ranua Wildlife Park shows a different side of Lapland. The park is around 80 km south of Rovaniemi, with a 2.8 km outdoor route through the forest. Look for polar bears, lynx, wolves, Arctic foxes and snowy owls along the way. Animals sometimes rest out of view, so take your time and see who’s out when you visit.
What our day trip includes
Our Ranua Wildlife Park Day Trip includes pickup from your accommodation in Rovaniemi, round-trip transport and admission. Inside the park, the visit is self-guided. You can pause for photos, read the signs together and spend longer with the animals that catch your eye within the time arranged for your visit.
Before you go
Pack warm layers, gloves and winter boots with good grip. The route includes boardwalk and gravel, with some steeper sections that can be slippery in winter. The park normally opens daily from 10 am to 4 pm from September through May and from 10 am to 6 pm from June through August. These are park hours. Your trip’s departure time, current price and availability are shown in the booking calendar.
