点评:This was not quite what I expected but a great experience all the same. The park only has 6 reindeer and we saw 4 of them. (To be fair, it was hot - for Finland - and the reindeer had already eaten a fair bit from private groups that day.) Even so, we got to feed them which was awesome. Plus we learned a lot about reindeer from the guide so that was great.
A few tips: If you take the public bus from Helsinki, you will be dropped off at a stop on the side of the road with no signage at all. Never fear! Just walk in the same direction you were travelling on the bus and you will find the entrance to the park.
Also, don’t feel you need to book in advance. When we arrived, the guide said he would offer 2 for 1 because he wasn’t sure how visible the reindeer would be on such a warm day.
If the park opens at noon, get there at noon. You’ll have a better chance of feeding the reindeer than at the end of the day.
Finally, an hour is definitely enough. Once you’ve fed the reindeer, you can make a “bun” on the campfire and that’s about it. Make sure you time yourself so you can catch the bus back since it only runs every half hour.
翻译:这和我预想的不太一样,但仍然是一次很棒的体验。公园里只有6只驯鹿,我们看到了其中4只。(说实话,对于芬兰来说,天气很热,而且驯鹿那天已经从私人团体那里吃了不少东西。)即便如此,我们还是有机会喂它们,这真是太棒了。而且,我们从导游那里学到了很多关于驯鹿的知识,所以这真是太棒了。
一些小贴士:如果你从赫尔辛基乘坐公共汽车,你会被送到路边一个没有任何标识的站点。不用担心!只要沿着你乘坐公共汽车的方向走,就能找到公园的入口。
另外,你不需要提前预订。我们到达时,导游说他可以优惠买一送一,因为他不确定在这么热的天气里驯鹿的可见度。
如果公园中午开放,那就中午到那里吧。相比一天结束时,你喂驯鹿的机会更大。
最后,一个小时绝对足够了。喂完驯鹿后,你可以在篝火上烤个“面包”,就这样了。记得算好时间,这样你就能赶上回程的巴士了,因为它每半小时才一班。
