A cute zoo founded back in the nineteenth century, when Suomi was part of Russia. The first animals were brown bears imported from Karelia. Its location is very unusual - on the island of Korkeasaari. A wonderful place if you plan to spend an interesting and informative unforgettable day with your child in the capital of Finland. In the summer season, it is best to get from the center of Helsinki to Sila by a small passenger ferry (water bus). It departs from one of the piers of the Market Square from the beginning of May to the end of September. The territory is large, and good conditions have been created for animals. I recommend visiting the Pukki restaurant. Overall, there were positive emotions.
Korkeasaari Zoo is a great place to walk with your family. The territory is large, green (in summer), birds (including peacocks) walk with visitors along the same paths and lawns.
But there are not so many animals in the zoo, especially in cold weather it is difficult to see anyone: everyone is hiding in their homes.
There are promotions when admission is free.
