Great zoo - Super experience. We saw most of the animals and birds. Really big kids playground. Fazer candy shop was also a big plus. Definitely would like to visit again. Transfer service was really good

Unusual but outstanding zoo - Most animals/birds were in their natural habitat; no cramped cages. A delightful walk through the zoo along a wooden "trail." Nice eateries for afterward, plus a sinful chocolate store to enjoy during the ride home. Worth the 1-hour drive each way.

Sleeping polar Bear and snow owls - The tour guide was excellent and so caring throughout the whole trip. Prépare yourselves to walk for almost three km . Nice zoo to see Arctic animals.

Wonderful must see - Arctic and Nordic animals in Ranua zoo a must see experience. Journey is about an hour but worthy. We went early morning through a day tour by Viator, it’s organised and managed to get back to city at 2pm. Must see polar bear and white owl. Many type of owls, quite interesting to look around and spot them. We managed to see only one polar bear, there are two but the other was sleeping. The scenery in this zoo really amazing and a simple snap just looked like postcards.

Loved - I got to see all the animals except for the brown bear (asleep in hibernation). Guide was lovely. I did a sleigh ride which was a tick off the bucket list. Zoo was very clean and reasonably priced.

Great few hours spent. - We loved this day out. My only reservation was deleting the polar bears in an enclosure. Just didn’t quite feel right to me, but overall it was a lovely day out and experience. The ice bar was a cracking experience too.

Not recommend - The display glass was frozen and not possible to see through. Very limited number of animals displayed overall. We bearly manage to see any animals at all. It my opinion very expensive and not worth it trip. There is better ways to spend your time and money. I understand they have animals that are local for the area.. but there is no reindeer for example and it is their national animal.
