Park near Kumpula, 1 of 6: Kumpula Botanic Garden


A geographical botanic garden run by the Finnish Museum of Natural History, laid out on old manor grounds since the 1980s. Gravel paths lead from European plants to a Rocky Mountains section and on to East Asia, alongside collections of cultivated plants.
There are picnic tables, mown lawns where picnics are allowed, and a small café. Some plants are toxic or irritate skin, so kids look without touching.
