About

Korkeasaari is Helsinki's zoo, set on its own island. It is open all year, but during the capital region's winter break week it runs more guided program than on a normal weekday. The zoo says winter gives the island an atmosphere of its own. It suits families happy to spend a few hours outside in the Helsinki cold.
