Can I Buy Tickets at the Husky Park Entrance?
In Santa Claus Village, Rovaniemi, Husky Park offers one of Finland’s most heartwarming safari experiences. For travelers looking for a thrilling journey into Lapland’s nature, without the stress of advance booking, the answer to this common question is yes: You can absolutely buy tickets at the Husky Park entrance.
Located just steps from Santa’s official office, Husky Park opens daily from 10:00 to 16:00, welcoming visitors of all ages with open arms and wagging tails. Unlike many high-demand Arctic attractions that require months of planning, Husky Park keeps roughly half of its daily capacity reserved for walk-in guests, ensuring that spontaneity is not only possible but encouraged.
Walk-In Visits Are Always Welcome ❄️
Whether you’re a last-minute traveler, a family discovering Lapland for the first time, or a solo explorer, you’re never turned away. Simply arrive at the gate, purchase your ticket on-site, and step into a world where Siberian Huskies are companions, ambassadors of the Arctic, and the true stars of the show.
And while longer rides, such as the scenic 2 km or the exhilarating 5 km sled experiences can fill up fast, the Husky Meet & Greet sessions remain one of the most consistently available options. These intimate, family-friendly encounters allow guests to pet, play, and learn about the dogs in a safe, educational, and deeply moving way. Perfect for kids, dog lovers, and anyone craving a genuine connection with nature.
Arriving early (around 10:00 a.m.) is still recommended to secure your preferred experience, but even if you arrive later, you’ll still find a warm welcome, knowledgeable guides, and a joyful atmosphere.
Guests like Andreea Maris from Tripadvisor echo this sentiment:
“We didn’t book in advance, we just bought the tickets at the entrance… After the husky ride we went on the tour, our guide was so dedicated, so kind and answered all our questions. Highly recommended!”
Honoring Our Home and the Spirit of Christmas
Husky Park’s location in Santa Claus Village sits at the crossroad of magic, tradition, and nature. A place where thousands of visitors from around the world stroll through the snowy streets each year, drawn by the promise of Christmas wonder. This unique position comes with responsibility that we take seriously: to ensure that every visitor, whether they’ve planned months in advance, or simply wandered by after meeting Santa, has the chance to experience everything the village has to offer.
