Linnanmäki
Getting around: In Alppila, about 3km northeast of central Helsinki; tram 9 or a 10-minute walk from Sornainen metro.
Hours: Seasonal, roughly May-September plus a shorter Halloween run; closed most of winter. Daily hours vary, generally 12:00-20:00 or later in peak summer.
Linnanmaki is Helsinki's amusement park, run as a non-profit since 1950 funding Finnish child welfare work, with around 40 rides from the 1951 wooden coaster Vuoristorata to modern thrill rides plus a young children's section.
Entry to the grounds is free; pay per ride or buy a wristband. A solid half-day outing rather than an all-day commitment.
