Snowpanda House

Snowpanda House – home to our giant pandas

Pandahouse at Ähtäri Zoo is an eye-catching building. The expert team from China’s national forestry administration’s panda center visited the site before the pandas’ arrival in November 2017, and when examining the building and its outer area, they confirmed that it is the best Pandahouse outside China.  

Inside the Snowpanda House there’s a space to watch both of our pandas, Lumi and Pyry, in their private living areas. You will probably find them napping or eating. The quiet and beautiful space, combined with the relaxed lifestyle of pandas gives the visitors a pause from their busy daily lives.

One can also see them in action on the outside area of their living space, more so during the summer but they have been known to play in the snow as well.

Apart from the pandas’ home, inside the Pandahouse you can find the Snowpanda Deli & Café, which is open during summer season and popular Finnish holidays.
