Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    Amazing Hiking Experience of Finland’s top nature attractions at Nuuksio National Park, Espoo.
    Information and map of the forest trail is available at Haltia, the Finnish Nature Centre.
    We walked through the wilderness of the marked; tree lined forest trail. This was a long authentic marked trails with up and downhill on the ancient cliffs covered by mosses and lichens with beautiful scenic views of this nature park.
    It took us about 5 hours to complete at a comfortable pace.
    An unforgettable experience of a lifetime!

    Impressive museum with versatile exhibitions on Finnish art. I especially enjoyed the Tapio Wirkkala and Futuro House.
    The museum is accessible, Futuro House is not. Lots to see and if you really want to take it all in, I would advise to take more than one day.

    Are you a nature enthusiasts?
    Hiking along Kaitalampi Lake with its serene lakeshore and stunning scenery is a must-experience forest trail.
    Keep to the marked hiking route on the map as the mobile network practically doesn’t exist Incase of emergency in dense wilderness .
    It was an amazing experience near this peaceful, mirror-like lakes.

    I visited Halita nature centre during the off season, after completing a short hike in the surrounding forest before it opened for the morning. The building is quite open and airy, being completely sustainable. On arrival there are hiking leaflets showing routes and trails together with other information leaflets about accommodation, transport and general wildlife safety for the local area.

    The floor is completely wooden so you are encouraged to take off your hiking boots and put on light sandals as you walk around the centre so to not cause damage to the floor. There are small shoe/boot lockers for you to do this (free to use) and doing so actually means you can experience the exhibition hall a little better.

    The exhibition hall itself has a high vaulted ceiling, and the floor is made up of different material and fabrics – all designed to mimic the natural environment. For example, leaves and wood, taking off your shoes will actually help this effect. Surround sound and projections onto the wall and ceiling of different scenery (streams, hillsides, forests, lakes etc) during different seasons all compliment these senses. It’s quite beautiful and relaxing. To the sides there are small areas for the children to experience what it is like for different animals. There is a small dark ‘den’ that children can crawl into complete with small bear to simulate hibernation. I spent about 25 minutes in the hall, but there isn’t a huge amount besides this area to see inside the building itself.

    There is a small basement area with toilets and examples of different insects together with a research room and staff area, and on the upper floor a large café/restaurant area. I didn’t use this so can’t comment on food and costs. Toilets were kept clean, however. I did visit the shop in the centre and the products were presented nicely and all wilderness related, with a clear majority all being local and sustainable. Prices were a little expensive however.

    The outside area of the centre comprises of some tipi’s which can be hired out to groups (I’m assuming for events?) and had a picture exhibition taken by a wildlife photographer all about wolves. I found this quite interesting, although is quite small.

    Staff were knowledgeable and helpful. The lady who welcomed me in also pointed out a good viewing point that I could visit that was only about a 25 minute walk away. I took her advice and wasn’t disappointed in the view when I got there. Had she not mentioned this I would have missed out. One of the benefits of visiting in the low season in the morning is that there are few other people around.

    I was able to get the 245 bus back to Espoo which is about a 30-minute journey with the same timeframe of frequency. There are also 2 small parking areas near the centre. I can imagine the area teaming with tourists in the height of summer so would definitely recommend visiting during the shoulder or low season to make the most of the experience.

    Spent 1 hour in the exhibition centre where several installations could be found. I loved the creative and beautiful works of contemporary artists.
    A section of the building was either under construction, or new art was about to be installed because parts of the building were unable to be visited.

    I went on a Friday where admission was free. There was a big group of (art?) students, and a few more couples or solo tourists, but even with the free admission, there was plenty of space, it wasn't crowded.
    It's a bit tricky to find because there isn't a bus stop nearby; I had to walk around 20 minutes from the bus stop to the exhibition centre.

    It is very nice and picturesque natural park with many trails. Atmospheric, many animals and birds, in the middle of that is located wonderful Villa Elfvik, as a Nature House where kids can learn more about nature and creatures. There is cafe there as well. Inside is retro style and very interesting, though the exhibition is super modern and interactive.
    Like this place a lot. Located nicely between Espoo and Helsinki on the seashore (actually it is a bay Laajalahti).
    Great to spend a day with family, trailing there both walking and on bikes, birdwatching and just enjoying nature!
    Super!

    The place is nice and something that has been missing in this area. Anyway, the outside pools are really really crowded. The entrance from outside to the showers always smells like a wet dog.
    Children love it.

    Perfect place to spend 3 h with friends and kids. The easiest routes are suitable from abt 6 yrs, whereas the black more demanding routes were challenging for a sporty 11 year old.

    What should I wear ? Jogging shoes, andnfitting clothes. In the summer shorts and t-shirt probably a good choice.

    Do I have to be fit and agile to enjoy this ? Not really, just open minded and not afraid of hights. The routes’ heights vary from 1 1/2 meter up to 18 m. A little bit scary for some, but you feel safe all the time.

    Friendly staff. Expect to pay 100 euros for 2 adults & 2 kids.
