• Summer season only: the museum opens May 15 to September 15, while the island park stays open and free all year
• No bikes or cars on the bridge or island, so take bus 24 to its last stop or use the small four-hour car park by the bridge
• Guided tours included in admission, plus a free mobile guide with the stories of over thirty buildings

Seurasaari is an island museum of 89 wooden buildings moved here from across Finland, the oldest log houses dating to the late 1600s. Kids wander between farmyards, a windmill and red cottages, then step inside to see how rural families lived in the 1800s and 1900s.

The island around the museum is a free city park with a swimming beach, a public grill and picnic spots.
