Konttaniemi Reindeer Farm

An absolute highlight of our trip to Rovaniemi in January! ❄️ We visited the farm with the whole family and were blown away by the atmosphere and hospitality. It didn't feel touristy at all. We were able to feed the reindeer in peace, enjoyed a magical sleigh ride through the winter landscape (-30 degrees), and then sat by the fire in a cozy cabin. A great and authentic experience for all ages. Highly recommended if you want to do a small size tour (two families).

A 'must visit' to know more about the gentle Reindeers, their uses, existence and generally their life. The reindeers are trained in this park so that visitors can meet them upfront without any trouble.

We had a wonderful tour of the reindeer farm today, we got to feed the reindeer, went on a sleigh ride and had a great talk with lots of information, staff were so lovely and friendly, highly recommend this lovely farm!

We have been to the farm twice. The first time in 2025 and now. The first time was a great 5-star experience. We fed the reindeer, we drove alone, you could sit in pairs or alone, after the ride we went for a hot drink and cookies in an old building full of history where they told us about the farm and the reindeer. I did it again this year because my younger nephew was not with us last year and was completely disappointed. The tour was in the afternoon because everything was full in the morning. Feeding was a wonderful experience, the rest was disappointing. The reindeer had to pull 3 people because this time we had to be two people plus the driver. After the ride we went to a new building where there was nothing and got a drink and cookies. If we wanted to know something we had to ask. This time I had the feeling that they just wanted to take our money and get rid of us as soon as possible. Maybe the problem was that we were not in the morning but in the afternoon, but 6 young people were left disappointed.

It was an incredible experience meeting the reindeer and riding in the sleds. The atmosphere at this farm is filled with kindness and great attention to every guest. We had an amazing guide, and the reindeer ride is something we will remember for a long time! We never expected it to be such a thrilling ride. Afterward, we were treated to tea, coffee, and cookies, along with fascinating stories about the farm and the reindeer. Thank you for the warm hospitality! Highly recommended!

We didn’t book a sleigh ride – we simply wanted to meet the reindeer and feed them. We had a wonderful guide who accompanied us and, in a humorous and genuinely friendly way, told us everything about reindeer, reindeer herding, and Finland in general. In the end, we enjoyed coffee and traditional pastries together. We had a truly wonderful time!

My visit to the reindeer farm was a truly remarkable and enjoyable experience. Riding a snow sled pulled by a majestic reindeer was fascinating and gave us a profound sense of connection to nature and its power. Afterwards, we entered the shaman's kota, where he conducted a special and inspiring traditional ceremony that added a spiritual and empowering dimension to the experience. It's a perfect blend of untamed nature, rich culture, and spirituality. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a unique and unforgettable adventure!

This is a great, "not-so-touristic" experience to learn more about Lapland and reindeer. The staff is very nice and friendly, we were allowed to feed the reindeer and ask lot of questions. The short ride is just enough the enjoy the experience! 10/10 for the authentic, fun and lovely experience.
