• Come by bus or bike, since the farm asks visitors to skip the car: bus 600 to Koetilankatu leaves a walk of just over half a kilometer
• No feeding the animals, as each one has a planned diet; kids can pet an animal only if it comes to them on its own
• Sheep barn visits run from around Independence Day to Epiphany, and again in April and May when the lambs are born

Haltiala Farm is a working farm with pastures along the river, reopened in June 2026 under new owners. The petting zoo keeps native Finncattle, Finnsheep, Finngoats and Finnish Landrace chickens, plus alpacas, ponies and summer pigs.

Paid extras include pony rides, a pedal car track, 18-hole minigolf, a trampoline park, a treasure hunt and electric ATVs for kids. A café, pizzeria, waffle shack and burger truck share the courtyard.
