What you need to know
- Ticket sales close early, an hour before the zoo does, so in winter arrive by 3pm
- No parking at the zoo, so take tram 13 to Nihti and walk about 500 m, or park in the Redi shopping center garage
- Indoor picnic rooms in the Bear Castle and the Amazonia lobby have microwaves and toilets for your own packed lunch
About
Korkeasaari Zoo sits on its own island in the Baltic Sea, linked to the mainland by three bridges, and is home to more than 150 animal species. Indoor stops include the tropical house Amazonia and the Bear Castle, whose picnic room looks straight into the bear enclosure. Paved, hilly paths lead past Finnish forest animals such as reindeer, and grill huts with charcoal let families cook their own lunch.
