Linnanmaki Amusement Park
About
Linnanmäki, Finland’s oldest and most popular amusement park, sits proudly on the hill of Alppila in Helsinki. It opened its gates on 27 May 1950 and has since become a beloved destination for families, thrill seekers, and history enthusiasts alike. With more than 40 rides, a full‑size Sea Life aquarium, and the culturally rich Peacock Theatre, the park offers a blend of nostalgic charm and modern excitement. The park’s operating season runs from April to October, giving visitors a full summer to experience lively events such as iik!week and the Carnival of Light. From the welcoming main entrance plaza and scenic lake to the iconic wooden coaster Vuoristorata and the record‑breaking Taiga, Linnanmäki provides an unforgettable blend of heritage and adventure, all while raising funds for child welfare through its longstanding partnership with the Children’s Day Foundation.
