Great Guide - Our guide Franco was amazing! He made the whole day great. Zoo was worth the trip. We didn’t get to see the polar bear but the owls, wolves, moose, Wolverine and muskox were pretty cool!

Well worth the time - We did the Ranua Zoo trip with Christian. The ride to the zoo is around an hour (on good roads in late summer, may be longer in winter), and another hour back, so be prepared for that. The Zoo is great, some beautiful large enclosures and many fascinating animals. We spent 3 hours at the zoo, it's a lot if walking, but that was fine with us. Our trip, in the quiet season, meant we had the zoo almost to ourselves, which was amazing. Very peaceful and enjoyable.

Not at the top of the to-do list, especially if you have limited time - A good workout but definitely would not be at the top of the priority list in terms of experiences. Too few variety and animals to see, to brave the cold. Guide who took us was friendly though. She brought us around and tried to make the walk as enjoyable as possible. BBQ was nothing special - standard sausages, marshmallow and blueberry juice.
