Nuuksiontie 83, Espoo, Finland
Just 30 km from Helsinki and Helsinki Airport – 1 km from the Finnish Nature Centre Haltia.
Welcome to Finland’s southernmost reindeer park, where the spirit of Lapland meets the forested hills of Nuuksio. Step into a world of quiet nature, soft snorts, and curious eyes – and discover the charm of these gentle northern animals, just a short drive from the city.
The first reindeer arrived from Finnish Lapland to Nuuksio in December 2013. Two more joined the herd in spring 2019, and our youngest – the adorable white reindeer Helmi – was born in February 2021.
Today, the park is home to six reindeer:
Usva, the bull (born 2018)
Five does: Taika, Lumi, Nella (born 2013), Tähti (born 2016), and Helmi (born 2020)
Fun fact: Tähti is Usva’s mother!
The atmospheric White Reindeer Kota serves as a private dining venue for pre-booked groups and holds a full alcohol license. During public opening hours, your entrance ticket includes campfire-brewed coffee (or tea/juice) and a cinnamon bun – and in summer, you can roast traditional stick buns over the fire.
You can also combine a reindeer park visit, campfire coffee, or kota meal with your booking at Karhunpesä for a complete nature experience.
Bring home a piece of Lapland’s energy with a raw Finnish amethyst, a beautiful purple crystal known as a stone of calm and clarity. Said to support balance, meditation, and life force, it makes a meaningful souvenir or gift. During your visit, you can purchase a mining pass and dig your own lucky stone – complete with a certificate of authenticity.
