The 15 Best Reindeer Farm Visits in Rovaniemi

Reindeer are working animals here, and the farms that open to visitors are family operations rather than attractions. Expect a short sleigh circuit through the trees, a bag of lichen, coffee by a fire and an Arctic Circle certificate at the end. The 15 below set out what each visit includes, how long the sleigh ride really is, and which farms suit small children.

“During the drive to the farm we talked to the guide and he told us many interesting things about the reindeers, the farm and overall the life in Finnland. For instance, exactly this farm is the oldest in the region( 400 years) and you can see that the animals and people are treated with love there. In the farm the owner met us with his 2 beautiful dogs. Then we had a one-hour ride, by -30 it was cold but still manageable. The scenery of the landscape is magical, you are riding in caravan slowly through the forest. Super beautiful and magical experience. To touch reindeers isn’t allowed as they…”

“If this is the only tour you do in Lapland, make sure it’s this one. We visited a local reindeer farm, met a bunch of reindeer, fed them, and had the chance to go on a short sleigh ride. What truly made the tour exceptional, was our guide Valeriia! She was absolutely amazing: incredibly knowledgeable about Finnish culture and the reindeer, warm, kind, and so efficient with time while never making the experience feel rushed. The group was small, which we loved. There were much larger groups at the same farm, but they didn’t get anywhere near the same level of 1:1 interaction with the reindeer that we did. It…”

“We had a fun half day on this tour. Great opportunity to meet the huskies and reindeer and sample a sledge ride. Both activities were relatively short however long enough for us as a family. Be prepared for full self drive, some on our tour seemed surprised by this. Tour guide was lovely and transportation very nice. We got to go out on the beautiful snowy lake at the reindeer farm and even do a bit of sledging (simple but the kids loved it). It is a pricey activity but amazing experience.”
