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 🥰

Magical experience with Tiina and all their animals, I would highly recommend to visit her place and see how she takes care of her animals.
I am happy to have contributed doing a wonderful Safari, managing the sledge and having fun!
She has many different rescued animals and all the money she is collecting is for them, to build up more space and improve their facilities every year.
If you love animals, this is definitely your place!
All my best to her and the animals!

We had a wonderful experience at Wild Spirit Park. The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, and it was clear that she cares deeply for the animals. You can see the love and dedication in the way she manages the park and looks after the animals. It’s a fantastic place to visit if you’re looking for an authentic and heartwarming experience with wildlife. Highly recommend it!

At first the park seems very small but the area is spacious and ideal for the animals! Tina does her work with heart and soul and you can see that in her treatment of the animals and the well-maintained park. The tour lasted 1 1/2 hours and cost €20 - so really cheap! We saw sled dogs, huskies, artic foxes, other foxes, birds, raccoons, ibex, reindeer. We were also allowed to feed the reindeer. Tina tells you a lot of interesting facts about the animals on the tour! Good experience

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.

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 little animal park that is worth a visit when up in Lapland. Currently there are Artic Fox, Raccoon Dogs, and sled dogs. Tour lasts about 30 minutes and you will follow the owner as she tells stories about the animals she cares for. Check it out!

If there is an activity to do if you are in the area, it is this one, far from the tourist masses. We had an unforgettable experience accompanied by owners of the place who are passionate about nature and animals and extremely kind.
We started with a husky ride through forests and passing frozen lakes (change of driver halfway)
Then Tiina welcomed us in a Finnish hut to offer us tea/coffee/snacks. We had a great time chatting around a wood fire.
Finally Tiina took us around her estate to show us the animals she saved (polar foxes, raccoons, etc.)
In short, you understood, we had an unforgettable authentic moment
A huge thank you to Tiina

We were the first trip of the season and it was great! Only our family and the 6 beautiful dogs! We drove on a iced lake and snowy track.
So far from mass Tourism Tour!
After the 1h safari, Tiina offers a warm drink in a quiet place and we had a look of some wild animals saved from a fur farm.
Thank you for to sharing this moments with us.

After reading so many good reviews from different channels, we decided to book a visit with my husband. Due to the warm weather, the husky safari was not possible anymore. But we were introduced to all animals in the park and had chance to hear stories of them. The owner, Tiina, is so heartful and devoted to keep an excellent care of her animal friends. We were touched by this lady and her commitment. Because of the covid situation, the place is lacking for the visitors which means directly economical loss. We hope that she can continue her valuable mission so you can also do some donations, as we do as a godparent to lovely fur friends.

Hi Cristal,
we visited park in july this year.
For the opening time we are not sure, but for sure :) you can easily reach park with car.Entrance and parking is alongside the road in you can't' miss it (around 3-4 km from Rovaniemi toward Ivalo)
Lady who owns park is very nice and she is running this park with heart.
The park is not pretty big (visit cane take you about 1 - 1,5 hour) and you can see some arctic animals such as foxes, wolverine and wild pigs (Romeo and Juliet) and of course Husky dogs. There is also i Hunting cottage with authentique ambient (mus horn, dear horn, dear hide....)
During the WInter season they organize dog slide trips to the wildness.
