Ranua Wildlife Park, Arctic wildlife park in Ranua, Finland.
The wildlife park extends across northern forest areas with spacious enclosures housing 50 different Arctic species including polar bears, wolverines, and brown bears.
The establishment of Ranua Wildlife Park in 1983 introduced the first dedicated Arctic animal conservation facility in northern Finland, focusing on regional species protection.
The park operates according to Finnish Lapland's eight-season calendar, which guides animal care practices and visitor experiences throughout the changing northern environment.
Visitors can access the wildlife park daily from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM, with accommodation options including villas and glass igloos near Lake Ranuanjärvi.
The facility participates in European endangered species programs, maintaining genetic diversity through careful breeding of Arctic animals like polar bears and wolverines.
