Things to do in Pelkosenniemi

This is a professional dog farm, and these sled dogs are the symbol of the wildness of the snow. There are hundreds of dogs in the dog farm, of many different breeds, and the main ones are the three stupid sled dogs: Husky, Alaskan dog and Samoyed. The dogs are all professionally trained, and some are specially used for competitions. They all have their own special fences and cabins. When they see someone coming, they are super excited, and the barking sounds come and go. They know that there is an opportunity to run and exercise, and they are shouting loudly: Choose me, choose me.

The tree in the center of the square gets its decorations changed every year, and the lighting is quite cozy. There's a Santa Claus office in the village where you can take photos, and a post office where you can send postcards with an Arctic Circle postmark. The tree itself isn't particularly special, but the surrounding wooden houses and reindeer sleighs, combined with the lights in the snow, create a nice atmosphere. It's a good place to bring children to experience Christmas culture.
