Wild Spirit Park, Lapland, Finland

Worth The Visit
We had a great visit to wild spirit park in Ivalo, it’s definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. It’s not an large place by any means but their are enough to see with Arctic foxes, snow dogs, a wild hog, goats and of course the sledding dogs that you can interact with. We went in early November and while there was snow it wasn’t enough to go sledding. That didn’t effect our overall experience though as the owner was thorough in explaining the stories of each of the animals there. We had a great time and at only a 10 euro donation to visit it’s probably one of the best values as far as experiences go. Plus you get the added benefit of knowing it goes to the cost of taking care of the park.

Lovely husky tour
We pre-booked a husky safari. When we arrived we were friendly greeted by Tiina, who moved here 15 years ago for her love for animals. The tour was amazing, some beautiful spots and we were introduced to every husky who was on our sled. Afterward we were invited in a Kami, which is a vert cosy stone house with a fireplace. We got some tea and cookies and she told us beautiful stories about the animals she had. Afterwards we got a tour around the farm and she told us about the artic animals. She has a wild pig, 26 huskies, 4 artic foxes, a gold fox, a cross fox, 2 racoon dogs and 2 Finnish goats! She is a vert friendly and warm person. She takes care of the animals very well. This is an absolute must visit when you are in Lapland!

Wonderful off the beaten track wildlife experience
My husband and I visited Wild Spirit park while on our honeymoon, we found the park by chance on a drive from Invalo to Lake Inari and found them on trip advisor when looking the park up online. Tiina was very responsive when I messaged on Facebook and was more than happy to accommodate a full tour of the park and her animals. Tiina knew each individual animal's story and is clearly very passionate about caring for them all - most are rescue. The tour was only €10 and we spent nearly an hour and half there including a break to warm by the fire. Such a lovely place and off the beaten track from the usual more expensive tourist attractions! Thank you Tiina ?
