Guided night-time tour of the Kitee zoo

Kitee zoo is the fourth largest zoo in Finland. The zoo is a part of the Pajarinhovi tourist centre, a family business that was founded in 1981 and has been owned and cared for by the same family the whole time. Pajarinhovi is located hour’s drive away from the cities of Joensuu and Savonlinna, right next to the highway 6. Behind the zoo gates you can find traditional dwellers of the Finnish forests, but on your way you can also come across some exotic species that have travelled to Kitee zoo from faraway lands. An example is the completely black Ayam Cemani chicken that not only has completely black feathers but black blood and bones too and has come to Finland all the way from Indonesia.

During the night-time tour you will be able to experience the park from a new point of view. The night brings out new characteristics on the animals and their behaviour and way of utterance may change. When daylight goes away, many animals such as foxes and lynxes start being more active and for example their conversations with the animals outside the park gets more frequent. During the tour a guide will tell you about the animals and their history, and will gladly answer your questions. Come and experience the nightly atmosphere of the Kitee zoo!

The starting time of the tour depends on the time of the year and changes depending on the timing of the nightfall. The duration of the trip is 2 hours. The price is 35€ for adults and 20€ for children. The enrolment takes place on the previous day. The minimum number of participants is 10 people. Welcome to Kitee zoo!
