If you’re planning a trip to Lapland and looking for an activity that combines adrenaline, stunning winter scenery, and a dash of family-friendly fun, the Levi: Arcandia Outdoor Laser Tag + Park Side experience is worth considering. We haven’t personally done it, but from what we’ve gathered, it offers a lively mix of outdoor action and relaxing park activities in the heart of snowy Finland. The two main highlights — the outdoor laser tag game in snow bunkers and tunnels, and the Park Side with its variety of self-guided experiences — make this a solid choice for those wanting a full day of entertainment.
What we really like about this tour is its inclusive vibe: it’s suitable for all ages, from kids as young as 7 (who can participate as scouts without heavy gear) to adults. Plus, the laser tag seems to be a real crowd-pleaser, with glowing effects and strategic gameplay that gets everyone moving. The second thing that appeals is the diverse array of activities in the Park Side — from reindeer watching to snowball fights and story hunts, there’s enough to keep everyone engaged.
However, a little consideration is needed for those worried about costs — although the laser tag is included, the extra activities in the Park Side require purchasing Arcandia Coins, which can add up, especially for larger groups. The food options and extra experiences might feel a bit pricey if you’re on a tight budget.
This tour works best for families, groups of friends, or anyone keen to enjoy a mix of outdoor adventure and leisure in the Arctic. If you’re after a high-energy activity with scenic winter views and some downtime in a cozy setting, it’s a good fit.

The Outdoor Laser Tag Adventure
The highlight here is the outdoor laser tag set in Lapland’s cold, arctic darkness, with snow sparkling all around. Imagine darting through snow bunkers and tunnels, with laser, smoke, and light effects creating an almost cinematic atmosphere. The equipment sounds impressive: LCD screens showing scores, hit sensors, sniper aimers, and camouflage helmets mean this isn’t just a simple game — it’s an immersive, high-quality experience.
From the reviews, it’s clear that the laser tag is fun for a wide range of ages and skill levels. One traveler mentioned, “Laser tag was fun. We did know what to expect, and the kids, aged 11 and 16, and my wife were anxious about how this would look and what we were going to do for two hours, but once we started, it was a lot of fun. Even for very small kids and adults, once the games began, we enjoyed it and were super excited.” That’s a good sign that the activity is accessible and engaging for everyone.
The Gameplay and Atmosphere
Playing in the snow, under the Arctic sky, adds a magical element to the game. The inclusion of higher-end gear, like sniper tags with telescopic aimers, enhances the competitive edge and makes each round more strategic. The fact that teams are briefed by guides helps keep the game organized and fair, especially for first-timers.
The duration of around 2.5 hours strikes a good balance — enough time for multiple rounds and team challenges without leading to fatigue or boredom. For those worried about the cold, the equipment is designed to keep players comfortable, and moving around in the snow helps stay warm.
The Park Side: Beyond Laser Tag
Once your adrenaline subsides, the Park Side presents a collection of activities that add value to your ticket — included in the price. Visitors can stroll through the park, take photos, and participate in story hunts like “Lost in Arcandia,” or enjoy the Snow Corner for some snow play. Other highlights include seeing reindeer, exploring the Museum, and visiting the Noidi | The Witch cabin, which adds a touch of local folklore and cultural curiosity.
Many reviews note the variety of experiences, making it easy to customize your day. For example, you might choose to engage with some of the Arcandia Coins activities like archery, axe-throwing, or sledging, which cost a few coins each. These experiences add an extra layer of fun, especially if you’re interested in more hands-on activities, but keep in mind that they do cost extra, and prices can add up quickly.
