Family Ranua Zoo visit - It was nice experience for the whole family. We were lucky with wheather - fresh snow, chily, but very fresh air 😊 We have got friendly, professional services, enjoyed the company throughout our visit to Ranua Zoo. We could feel, that guide was passionate about Arctic. Thanks for great memories and wish the best in the future.

Excellent service - Excellent service and well-organized transfers and visit. We had a lovely and cold day spent in Ranua Zoo with animals. Shame that the children's playground was closed, probably for safety reasons. The playground looked really good though, hopefully, they open it soon.

Perfect family transfers - Andrew was awesome. We utilized him for a private zoo tour and a transfer to Levi. He accommodated our group very well (3young kids). Would highly recommend their services and not attempt to drive on the ice a dodge reindeers.

Great day at the wildlife park - The host was excellent. She provided useful tips and was friendly She waited for us at the wildlife park while toured and then told us about the Finland chocolate that was cheaper there verses in Santa’s village. The ride to/from the park was a little over an hour and she was a safe and pleasant driver

Unique zoo experience - I have seen some pretty well known zoo around the world and I have to say this is a very different experience. The breadth of animal exhibits is small compared to wild life reserves in temperate or tropical climates and expectation has to be managed before hand and cannot be compared to Australia or San Diego or Singapore. Don’t allocate more than half day to this, at most, including traveling time from Rovaniemi. But the amazing winter wilderness and the first hand experience of the arctic fauna is something worth seeing. Thankfully even though it was snowing - we managed to see most of the key animals. It was pre peak season so not crowded and great views. The infrastructure and amenities can be improved. Add some more mid way shelters, maybe a couple of hot refreshment outlets to “take care” of the tourists. But the stark, impersonal but safe and efficient brand of hospitality is keeping with the overall Finland experience. The Nortsav tour company was super efficient and our guide Gunita was absolutely perfect for us. Thanks for making it a great family day for us.

It is ok but not wildlife park - 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
