It's a lovely place to go to get out of the city - even though it's just ten minutes from the centre. Really romantic, no matter the season, but in winter time you really have to rug up. The wind - like the sea - is truly icy.

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.

The favourite new craze in Helsinki, an amazingly well-equipped "sports acrobatics" centre with trampolines, bouncy airtrack, foam pits, sprung floor and more. It's filled to the brim with training cheerleaders during weeknights, but if you come during the day you have the place to yourself.
