About Santa Claus Reindeer

Santa Claus Reindeer is a family business of reindeer herders at Santa Claus Village. Its rides run from the 400-metre Reindeer Path and the 800-metre Forest Path through the trees to a 2–3 km Winter Adventure; at its Taava reindeer farm in Rautiosaari, about 20 minutes from central Rovaniemi, there is a three-hour daytime safari and a night sleigh ride in search of the northern lights.

Why it's on our list

  • A first sleigh ride for small children
  • Longer safaris
  • Northern lights by sleigh

Opening hours, prices and seasonal openings change, so please check with Santa Claus Reindeer before you go.
