Linnanmäki Amusement Park

Finland's oldest amusement park opened in 1950 on a hill north of the city centre. It is run by a foundation that channels its profits into children's welfare. Admission to the park itself is free, and rides can be paid for individually or with an all-day wristband; among them is a wooden roller coaster dating from 1951. The park operates seasonally, so it is worth checking whether it is open before your visit.
