Tips from locals
This is a small island where you can walk and swim but also visit old houses to see how Finland was a few centuries ago. Squirrels are overfed by tourists so avoid feeding them with peanuts.
An open-air museum with super friendly squirrels. Great during Christmas times for their famous Christmas Walk. Dogs welcome. Free entrance.
Seurasaari is an open air museum on a small island about 4 km from the city center. It can be reached by city bikes or bus no 24. It displays old farmer's cottages, manors and other old buildings transported from the Finnish country side. Nice green oasis by the sea.
The Seurasaari island provides a nice setting for outdoor recreation, sun worshippers and walkers. The tame ducks, swans and geese swarming around the bridge welcome everybody. Having crossed the white wooden bridge a visitor can't help running into the happy little squirrels of the island. At the Open-Air Museum of Seurasaari the traditional Finnish way of life is displayed in the cottages, farmsteads and manors of the past four centuries that have been relocated from all around Finland. The Kalevalakehto Installation (2010) by students from American and Finnish schools of architecture and design is situated on the south bank of the island and is ment for relaxing and enjoying the silence. At Seurasaari you'll also find restaurant Seurasaaren Kruunu, Cafe Mieritz, kiosks and a beach (nude-, except for Wed & Sun). Barbecuing is also possible at the grill by the Festival Ground kiosk. Island is open daily. Open-Air Museum of Seurasaari is open 15.6.-31.8. Mon-Sun 11-17 and 1.-15.9. Mon-Fri 9-15, Sat-Sun 11-17.
