• Height limits on rides, from rides open to kids under 90 cm up to 140 cm for Star Flyer and Loop Fighter, so check the list before promising a ride
• Buy wristbands online, since the online store is cheaper than the booth, and staff fit the wristband at the Online Tickets point by the main gate
• Train from Helsinki, a little over an hour to Kouvola, then local bus 12T or 8 from the city center in summer; parking is free

Tykkimäki is a summer amusement park in Kouvola, a little over an hour by train from Helsinki. Rides run from the gentle Mini Teacups and Valasveneet boats for small kids to the Star Flyer and Loop Fighter for older ones, each with its own height limit.

The Minimaatila petting zoo sits inside, along with game stands, kiosks and burger and pizza spots. Tykkimäki Aquapark is a 500-meter walk away.
