Ranua Wildlife Park - The park is only a bus ride away from Rovaniemi city center. The schedules can be found at most hotels. The park is quite large with lots of Arctic animals. The first area you will see is the owls! They are huge and really beautiful. Our favourite sections are the wolverines, linx, wild boars, and the bears. The two polar bears are the biggest hit. We spent about 4 hours there including an hour of lunch. “It’s A Great place to spend a day especially with the family.”

Great zoo with very interesting animals - We went here on Xmas day and had a great day. The animals seemed to have lots of space to roam and was set in beautiful snowy scenery. We were worried most the animals would be hiding to stay warm but this wasn't the case as we were able to see of the large animals.

Too short and rushed - The description of the tour stated that we would have a driver AND a professional guide. We did not have a professional guide. Our driver, while very lovely and friendly, brought us to the zoo, gave us our wristbands, told us the polar bears were being fed at 11am so we should hurry straight to see that, and then told us to meet her back at the bus at 2pm. There was no guide of any sort around the zoo as promised We were also told the tour starts at 9am, but the bus did not collect us until 9 30am, and it also did not collect us at the place we stipulated, instead told us to go to a different hotel. We did not reach the zoo until 10.45am, and given that we were told the bus back to the city was at 2pm, this left us with 2 hours and 15 minutes to run around the zoo and go and joing the very long line to get lunch in the buffet. It was not enough time at all. We did not get to see half of the animals as we had to rush past them to see the Polar bears and did not have enough time to go back as the bus was leaving. Considering it cost €400 for a family of 4, I do not feel it was good value for money as everything was so rushed and we did not have the professional guide promised in the advertisement. A bit disappointing to be honest. The only real highlight was getting to see the Polar bear being fed and so active.

Nice scenery but the zoo front is disappointing - We gone there for the polar bear. There is no sight of them. the brown bear are having a winter sleep! Most animal are inactive during the period we visit in December. May be the operator should mention this. Our party of 6 were disappointed with the lack of animal to see.

Disappointing - There was no commentaries on the tour, we were squeezed into a little minivan, we had to use an app when we got there which caused me to slip on the ice because my hands were not free to hold on to anything and we realised we could have taken a bus there ourselves and would have more time to see the zoo. Time for shopping later was too long, should have been an option for us to choose.
