Ranua Wildlife Park

Discover Finland's northernmost wildlife park and come face-to-face with the Arctic's most iconic animals – including the country's only polar bear! Our relaxed day trip takes you to Ranua Wildlife Park (Ranua Resort Wildlife Park), just 80 km south of Rovaniemi, nestled in pristine conifer forests.

This is a perfect family-friendly outing: explore at your own pace on a self-guided visit through spacious, natural enclosures housing around 50 Arctic and northern species (about 150 animals total). Marvel at majestic polar bears splashing in their habitat, playful wolverines, elusive lynx, wolves, brown bears, otters, snowy owls, musk oxen, moose, and many more.

The park's immersive wilderness setting lets you experience authentic Lapland nature year-round – with changing seasons adding extra magic in winter snow or summer midnight sun.
