COME AND EXPERIENCE 50 northern animal species
Ranua Wildlife Park specializes in arctic and northern animal species, with a history of almost 40 years. The animals’ spacious enclosures are located in the middle of the northern coniferous forest, which is also the natural environment for most of the species living in the park.
We are open every day of the year. The changing seasons bring an additional dimension to visiting the wildlife park.
Ranua Wildlife Park is home to Finland’s only polar bear and 50 other arctic and northern animal species, a total of about 150 individual animals.

Sustainability at Ranua Resort
For us, sustainability is an important factor in all of our activities and we strive to make environmentally sustainable choices in our accommodation services, cleaning, restaurants, animal park, souvenir shop, our own offices and all our purchases.
In addition to these, important work is carried out in the wildlife park to maintain a sufficiently diverse population in terms of animal species and species protection. The goal is to maintain an appropriately sized, genetically as diverse stock as possible. In addition, we also cooperate with other animal parks in terms of information sharing and research.
Ranua Wildlife Park’s species in the EEP programs include polar bear, wolverine, wolf, otter, dhole, musk ox, musk deer, European mink, snowy owl, ural owl and wild forest reindeer. In addition, our species in EAZA’s studbook programs include brown bear and lynx.

ANIMAL CARE WITH A BIG HEART
The well-being of animals is one of the central values of Ranua Wildlife Park. Most of our residents were born in shelter conditions here or in other zoos, and are used to the presence of humans – still we ask all our visitors to respect the peace of the animals in their own home, and to behave in a calm manner near the enclosures.
The basic prerequisites for the well-being of the animals in the park are a sufficiently large enclosure and related facilities designed with the needs of the species in mind, as well as competent animal keepers who know the characteristics of the animal species and our own individuals. In addition, animals naturally need food and health care that is naturally suitable for them.
