Absolute fun attraction with something new every year! Open from May 1st to end of September.
Take a boat from the Market place and enjoy the beautiful zoo island.
3. Heureka science center, Vantaa
An excellent place for a bit older kids. By trying, experimenting and playing the visitors can get acquainted with different scientific phenomena. Take a local train to Tikkurila, about 10 mins.
A lot of tunnels, cannons, guns, and a fantastic history as the gate of Helsinki gives wings to boys' imagination. Also a summer theatre, restaurants, museums and guided tours for the older ones in the family. The only way to get there is to take a boat from the Market place.
Built for the Helsinki Olympics, this open-air swimming stadium is open for everyone. Diving pool with stands, children's pool, 50-m pool, water slides, playground, cafés and other services available. Don't miss this!
