Meet huskies, reindeer, Finnhorses and local birds

Encountering a friendly husky dog, a reindeer munching lichen or an adorable Finnhorse is often a vacation highlight for children. If your kids are a bit older, bear or bird watching might be the perfect adventure.

In petting zoos and husky and reindeer farms, children get used to interacting with animals in a gentle and respectful manner, while also learning about the animals. 

A gentle reindeer sleigh ride and feeding the reindeer

At a reindeer farm, you can enjoy a slower-paced sleigh ride pulled by reindeer. In the reindeer enclosure, children also have the opportunity to feed the reindeer lichen, following the instructions of the reindeer host.

Husky sleigh ride for the entire family

With smaller children, a sleigh ride on a shorter route is a chance to find out what it’s like and also experience the thrill of speed. If you get really lucky, the husky farm might also have puppies to pet!

Bird watching with the whole family

Many children hope to meet a Siberian jay on their vacation, and it is easy to make that come true on the most popular hiking trails in Oulanka National Park, Kiutaköngäs and Pieni Karhunkierros Trail, as well as on the Riisin rietas Trail on Riisitunturi fell and the Sinipyrstön pyrähdys Trail leading on top of Konttainen fell.

Reindeer along Rudolf Adventure Route during winter

The easiest way to meet reindeer is by skiing or snowboarding on Rudolf Adventure Route. Adventure Route can be accessed by foot from Vuosseli area along Ahonlaita Slope. Our Fun & Games on the Slopes programme includes feeding reindeer on Adventure Route on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays at 16-17.
