Wolves, lynx, foxes, wolverines and bears all have big areas with trees, bushes and rocks where they can run, hide, rest and take care of their offspring. Wonderful! And otters and beavers and...Cute, of course, but most important - in this zoo you can see animals of local fauna. Also the farm animal part of the zoo was good. And the zoo is NOT too big, in a moderate pace one can go trough it in 3-4 hours, and also there are places to have a snack and rest. So, go and visit.

Animals had one of the better conditions Zoo can offer - park is located in forest, every species have relatively big area to walk. Zoo is rather big, so younger children can be tired, especially if is very hot. Zoo seems to be accessible also for wheelchairs, parking lot is big, so campers and coach buses can fit. Shop is a danger for the budget (lot of nice toys, it seems they are local products, supporting country) Playground was accepted with enthusiasm

Very enjoyable zoo experience. Kids will love Ranua zoo. Somewhat expensive lunch (15€). They also served burgers. Burger meal was tasty and good sized.

Excellent. Take some insect repellent with you, though. Sometimes the animals are hard to see. Other than that, fantastic. Well worth the visit.

All the enclosures were large, clean, and had good enrichment options. The animals were so active and playful. The polar bears were the most active I have ever seen. We went in winter (March) and I was very pleased. Also did the dog sledding right there. The dogs also looked very well cared for and healthy. Great experience.
