Ähtäri Zoo Camping

Ähtäri Zoo is the oldest organic zoo in Finland, offering joy and insight with animals. Welcome to the wonderful world of nature!

Ähtäri Zoo is especially known for pandas and bears, but there are also many other exciting species from Scandinavia and Asia. The natural environment of the zoo is home to more than 50 different species of animals, including wolves, wolves, lynx and the highly endangered small pandas, snow leopards and tachyderms.

The zoo's easy-to-follow trail winds through beautiful natural surroundings. Along the way, there are children's play areas and nice rest stops where you can stop for a snack and a sausage. There are also cafés along the route, such as the Kaakkolampi summer café, the café ship Lokki and the Farm café.

In the Panda House you can see not only Lum and Pyry's, but also a classy Deli&Café selling panda products. The zoo's own shop sells souvenirs.

The Ähtäri Zoo Livestock Farm presents the life and animals of the farm.

Hotel Mesikämmen is located just a few minutes from the Zoo gates. Ähtäri Zoo Camping offers camping on the beautiful Hankavesi shore, a stone's throw from the entrance to the zoo. The campsite offers cottages and larger, year-round Moose cottages.

Welcome!
