Animals

Ähtäri Zoo is Finland’s first organic zoo. More than 50 different species of animals live in the park, including the snow leopard, red panda, bear and lynx.

Our Farm is often times the favorite part of the whole Zoo especially for our youngest visitors, and many adults find it as well to be their first time of seeing a farm animal from up close and even touching one.
