If you are planning a trip to Finland with Children or perhaps are already in Finland and you want to find something to entertain the children for a day you have come to the right place to read about options.
This article is currently more focused on the options in southern Finland but please feel free to comment with options elsewhere if you think they are worth a mention in the article.
I live myself in southern Finland so I’m mainly focused in options that are located within a 2-hour drive from Helsinki, Turku or Tampere which I could visit myself with my 8-year old daughter.
In this article I have sorted the parks in to the following categories:
- Water parks
- Amusement parks
- Zoos
- Aquariums
