You should bring your own sauna beer or cider and snacks with you. Also buying a vihta (birch leaves which you use to hit yourself in sauna) is something that you should consider. It doesn't sound relaxing, but it is – believe me. And that lovely smell! Open Tue–Sun 2 pm–8 pm, €12.

It's quite expensive to go to the rides, but entrance is totally free. There's even one ride Panoraama for free. It's not very intense, but lifts you up to the air and shows the sight of Helsinki from high up. If you want to pay to go to one ride, choose the wooden roller coaster.

It can be quite expensive to eat in the Zoo restaurants, especially with the entrance fee, so this offers a great alternative when you get hungry! It's not a big Zoo, so carrying food and drinks around won't exhaust you. To avoid crowds at the picnic, try to visit later in the afternoon.

This is a classic place for a good old Finnish sauna, but be prepared to get your gear off - no swimming costumes or underwear allowed. You can also come here for a good old-fashioned bloodletting (we kid you not!), or a relaxing massage. Can't get more Finnish than this.
