About
Santa´s Pet Farm is situated on ski and activity center Levi on a historic farm just 2km from the main centre. We are open from 11am to 5pm. We are a place to visit for all the family! We have 12 different animal species and over 30 animals, including Jekku our very sociable reindeer! Santa Claus comes to stay at the farm for a few weeks around Christmas, and you can visit him in his cottage then.

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

When I came here with my mother and brother in 2014 just before Christmas, we were only there for one day but it was filled with events. You will be able to visit the ice hotel, where everything is made of solid ice, from the beds, the walls and even a bar with shot glasses made of ice, you can even smash them on the ground after downing a shot of vodka. You will meet elves there in large wooden huts, but these aren't the tiny elves with large ears you'd expect, but quite large and normal looking. Since this place is so high up on the planet, and since it was winter, you don't get sunlight for long; it tends to get dark around 4pm. All warm clothes are provided once you are there, but be careful, even just taking off your gloves you will feel the icy chill. There are sleds pulled by reindeer although these are slow, if you want something fast try a husky ride; as you race through the dark woods you will feel the ice cold wind lashing at your cheeks, for me it was the best part of the trip; just enjoy the experience while you can because they only let each family ride once. You can go down ice slides and make huge snow angels, just laying back you are swallowed by the snow, then we met Father Christmas. You are transported to a small hut and once inside you see an old man wearing red, when I met him he spoke with a Russian accent; we had our photos taken but since my brother and I were both in our teens we didn't get any gifts, my mother is still annoyed about that.

I stayed here while on holiday and it’s lovely local accommodation. It’s self catering so you have the option of eating in Levi if you want or can just relAx in the room. The animals are easy to see on a daily basis as well as when the pet farm is open.

We visited Santa’s Cottage and Pet Farm and it was absolutely wonderful! The rabbits, cows, sheep, goats, chickens, and reindeer are all cute and well taken care of. Anu is very kind and knowledgeable. Will definitely stop here again on our next trip.

Friendly animals, a well kept small farm, an extremely welcoming and kind owner, a small fee, tea in a tipii...all around a much more magical experience than we expected! We walked from Levi by the forest but there is also a good path along the road. There were bus stops but we didn't use the bus. I definitely recommend supporting the farm with a visit!

This was a pleasant little family-run place, with several animals to see. Since it was summer and the horses weren't there, it was only 8 euro to enter and we had a lady who spoke excellent English show us around. Apart from the reindeer, the farm animals were ones I was familiar with, but I am sure it would be really interesting for children, especially in the winter. The buildings looked nice and the animals seemed to be well cared for.

We just visited this lovely little animal farm with our two kids. They LOVED it!
Cute animals, very friendly staff, nice decoration and for the kids a lot of things to see and discover.
The kids loved the “horse shoe” surprise hunt. This treasure hunt is a lot of fun.
In the end we enjoyed hot beverage in a traditional Lappland tent.

Visited in January near closing time. Small farm had plenty of animals and no other visitors at the time. We had the opportunity to feed reindeers which was nice. It was decent walk from ski bus stop but we had a sled for our kid. She enoyed the built snow structures on the farm.

We really love this cute little farm. It is a little bit outside the town, but close to the main street. Easy to find and to get there by a walk or by taking a taxi. We were warmly welcomed by one of the guys who works and live there.
We wanted to go there just to see the reindeers, but found a nice place with a lot of other animals like bunny, horse, donkeys and more. The little entry fee was worth it. We spend there almost one hour.

Creo que es una tomadura de pelo, al menos a principio de junio que es cuando nosotros pasamos. Quatro animales y cobrando 8 euros.
