Kopara Reindeer Park, Luosto

This was such a special place! We loved the guide he was a big man with a beard. He told us all about the traditional life and ways of Finland. We met a group of very nice and funny guys from England that were staying here to do shows for the children. They have a large tent that you can sit in by the fire and have a warm drink while chatting with amazing people from all over the world. This was a truly magical experience and I am so glad that I found this place online. We were fortunate to be able to rent a car in Tromso, Norway and drove all the way here. This way we were able to avoid the very high prices of a reindeer ride in Rovaniemi, Finland. We still went there to meet Santa Claus, but did our Husky ride and Reindeer ride elsewhere for a better price. It was also magical (but scary) driving in all the snow and seeing the countryside across Norway, Sweden and Finland.

Last week we spent three days in Lapland with our son, daughter-in-law, and their 6 year old daughter. Had an amazing time. One of the highlights of the holiday was a visit to this reindeer park, where we experienced a sleigh ride, pulled by a reindeer. To anyone thinking of a trip to Lapland, it is important that the children are old enough to enjoy the activities, but still young enough to believe in the magic of Santa. All in all, a magical experience.
