Summer Magic in Rovaniemi is a summer reindeer experience, so it does not include a reindeer sleigh ride. Instead, guests have the opportunity to meet the reindeer during a completely different season of their annual life cycle.
The experience takes place at Santa Claus Reindeer in Santa Claus Village, Rovaniemi, and transportation to the location is not included.
Guests can visit between 10:00 and 16:00, offering flexibility when planning their day in Santa Claus Village.
There is no need to rush your visit – travellers are welcome to spend time at the reindeer fence, observe the animals and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere at their own pace.
Follow the instructions of our staff when approaching and interacting with the reindeer. Reindeer welfare and respectful animal encounters are always our priority.
The programme takes place outdoors, so we recommend checking the weather forecast and dressing for changing Lapland summer conditions.
Children must be accompanied by an adult while visiting and interacting with the reindeer.
As reindeer are living animals, their behaviour and willingness to interact can vary naturally from day to day – this is part of experiencing authentic reindeer life in Lapland.
