“We were picked up on time at our Airbnb by Egor who drove us directly to the farm. On arrival, there was a big group of people already waiting in line to go on the sleigh ride, so we had time to pat the huskies that weren't on the sleigh ride first. The wait wasn't long and before we knew it, we were on the sleigh! The ride is short but a lot of fun! We got to pat and take pictures with these huskies too before we went to a lodge closeby. It was very cosy and had a fireplace where everyone could sit around. We were served cookies…”

“We absolutely loved it all. Visiting at the begging of April was a little risk as many activity providers are closing or limiting tours, but this was a great find for our family.

“This was great!!There isnt a lot of time with reindeer but we got more than most tours.We got to watch them 15 mins wild while they give a talk,then go a short reindeer ride (minutes), then a 30 mins inside talk then most people got to pet 2 reindeer for a few mins.We got to move around extra while waiting for the ride (there were other groups there)& got posed photos on the frozen ice.It was so so cold watching so the wild reindeer was long enough & a longer ride would have been cold(it was -35!)but I could see people being disappointed that it was short. After everyone left…”
Feed reindeer, enjoy a short sleigh ride, and hear Lapland stories near Rovaniemi. A warm family outing with useful price caveats.
“Activité très moyenne. La ferme se trouve juste à la sortie de Rovaniemi et ouverte à tous, le transport proposé par l'agence est très cher alors que l'on peut le faire seul ou en taxi. Nous avons calculé, nous étions 4 et nous aurions economisé plus d'un quart du prix en faisant comme cela. Le temps à la ferme est très court. Il y a deux rennes attachés dans la cour que l'on peut carresser en attendant notre tour à la balade. La balade est sympathique et c'est toujours une bonne expérience. Mais cela ne vaut clairement pas le prix payé. Petite collation et explications générales de l'éleveur à la…”

“Es una auténtica tomadura de pelo!!! Te hacen esperar en la oficina más de 45min, sabiendo que es una actividad que van niños. Después la actividad te venden mil cosas y solamente vas, te montas 2min en el trineo y fuera...ni te enseñan los perros ni te dejan interactuar con ellos.....así que te sale el minuto de la actividad a 200e....y encima no te ponen ni huskeys por la temperatura, cuando la actividad es con ellos.....así que deberían devolverte el dinero ..o indemnizarle....una experiencia nefasta .....”

“Je suis mitigée pour cette excursion On vient nous chercher et on nous ramène dans un petit véhicule.

Arrive sur place nous descendons là où les rennes sont déjà prêts avec le traîneau, tous attachés les uns derrières les autres. Notre tour a été superbe car nous avions pris le premier traîneau pour avoir la sensation d être un peu plus seul car d autres groupes s étaient greffés. On nous explique comment donner un peu de nourriture aux rennes , nous n avons…”
