Hotel pickup on time, our guide was great, full of information and not just about the zoo. Loved the zoo, had plenty of time to walk around and eat afterwards.

Nice experience, comfortable vehicle. Our guide Normund was on time, he has good knowledge of Lapland livinhood, habits and traditions. Highly recommended local company.
Thank You, was nice to meet Your group. BR, Normund from NortsaV Tours
Very pleasant day! Unfortunately many of the animals were not able to be seen. We had a guide Eero who was fantastic! He is a local who grew up in the Lapland. He was a wealth of information and knowledge about the animals, the land, and the culture.

It’s a very nice zoo featuring cold weather animals.. we were unable to see all the animals due to the season. Eero … our guide.. more than made up for that. A Lapland native, he is a wealth of information about the land, the people, and the environment.

We had light snow on our visit, and this adds to the charm of walking around. Such pretty scenery helps compensate for not seeing a few of the animals, i.e. set yourself some realistic expectations for a winter visit. Our driver Dimitri was also good company as we walked around.

The zoo trip was great in particular they had snow compared to where we were in santa village. This allowed us to have a snowball fight, snow angels and build snow men which up to that point we wernt able to do. The zoo itself is different to conventional zoos where there are huge enclosures for the animals. We saw about half the animals as during winter some of them were asleep. The sweet shop there is very reasonable priced in comparison to santavillage where the same box sweets were 5e in zoo n 16e in santa village. The gift shop n resteraunt have a huge selection of food. Our tour guide was so accomdatiing and even gave us extra time in the zoo to have some snow fun. We have a very good time and found the trip very good.

Really nice experience by Normunds. We was picked up from our hotel, then explained about the day and drive in very comfortable van to the zoo. On the way we saw reindeer’s in wildlife. Was so amazing. Then we arrived at the zoo, was guided where is everything and then we could explore the zoo without the rush. Our toddler really loved it as he could see so many animals close to the fence. Was great family day. After the walk in zoo we went to eat in buffet and it was very nice and warm lunch. Then we had free time to go and play in kids play park. It was really great, everything was clear and guided and the drive didn’t feel long. Normand is professional and very kind person! Thank you!
