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.

    I’d already visited a couple of very good cultural museums in Swedish and Finnish Lapland before I got here so I wasn’t expecting much that I hadn’t seen before. Boy, was I wrong!
    I still spent a couple of hours here. Whilst there was a small overlap in subject matter, the presentation and display of the material was entirely different and absorbing. There are a lot of electronic, interactive displays allowing you to choose from 6 languages and to select the areas of information you are interested in. The museum covers Sami culture and lifestyle, past and present, the environment and seasons plus additional areas I haven’t seen elsewhere such as the impact of war and outdoor displays about trapping and reindeer herding, also with some activities.
    There was an excellent temporary exhibition indoors and a large outdoor display area / walking trail.
    There is also a café and shop with some excellent local crafts
    This is a great museum and well worth any time you can manage to spend here. Highly recommended

    we visited in Dec so it was frozen & covered in snow but this just brings a different kind of beauty and opportunities to the place. I would think its also amazing in summer for whole different reasons

    Pleasant ride and knowledge of reindeer. We also did the feeding and it's quite fun. The reindeer are mild manner and well discipline.

    There is some excellent craftwork in here along with materials to make your own pieces.
    Unlike some Duodji I have seen that mostly focus on jewellery or knives, in addition to these there is also a lot of clothing in here, baby shoes, caps, belts, ties etc. There are also some smaller, more accessible pieces, simpler, smaller jewellery pieces and key rings for example.
    The staff were informative and helpful and pointed out that the receipt also includes the name of the maker for the items purchased. A great connection to the piece. Highly recommended.

    There are lots of people who just visit Rovaneimi & SCV without venturing further inland. Inari is a good 4/5 hours drive through heavy snow, frozen lakes, white & green forests with tiny trails begging to be explored,huge snowbanks transforming Lapland into magical winterland ! There are a host of winter activities,the draw of NLs & the frozen stunning Lake inari.

    This was one of the highlights of our trip in Lapland! Petri took us to the forest with his snowmobile where we found hundreds of reindeers waiting hor us! We got to feed them, observe them, and hear everything about them from Petri who responded all our questions with accuracy and enthusiasm. We also got to rest around a fire pit with hot coffee/tea and cinnamon buns. It was also great to learn more about the Sami language and culture and to visit the small shop (where we bought a fantastic reindeer hide). We highly recommend it!

    Amazing experience learning about the Sami culture while visiting a traditional family in their home. As reindeer herders, the Sami families raise and take care of their herds and that of fellow Sami herders as well. Their resilience and knowledge of what nature provides for them and ability to use it sustainably is truly inspiring. They make thread for sewing from reindeer tendons, fish scales to make purses, fish vertebrae as beads for crafts just to name a few. Highly recommend!
