What travellers are saying
- RaficusChicago, IL86 contributionsThis place is important stop to all those interested in aviation. The museum holds nice variety of aircrafts.
The biggest pluses and minuses are:
+ old planes and unique helicopters
- not many fighter jets
This is a good place for education, so bring your kids with you, they will love it!
Additionally, I recommend to read an interesting history of the aircrafts or the engines, taken from the water after being shot down during the war.
Also, if you are traveler and have several hours of layover, you can go to this museum. You just need to take a train and get out on the first train stop. The museum is in walking distance from the station.Written 8 September 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Heureka science center has a lot of interactive exhibitions, definitely interesting for children or adults who like to explore science. The instructions are given in English, Finnish and Swedish, helpful to tourists. The ticket includes free entry to the planeterium shows. But the planeterium equipment can be a bit upgraded. Good on-site restaurant, but slightly more expensive than those in the city. Highly recommend for families with kids!Written 17 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We used to go here for Chinese buffet (with sushi) but here is also many other restaurants.
Here is also hotel with spa, movie theater, and shopping center. So, worth to visit!Written 10 July 2018This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The Helsingin pitäjä district is one of the best-preserved historical parishes in Finland. There are many old houses around the church area.
The medieval church was badly destroyed in a fire in 1893, after which it was reconstructed in a Gothic Revival style. The church got Neo-Gothic style tapered windows, pulpit, benches, galleries, and a copper roof.
The church is a very popular wedding church and venue for concerts.Written 18 February 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

If you are in a hurry you do not need to travel to Helsinki or Espoo malls.
There is also quite good selection of various restaurants and if that is not enough then there are half a dozen more next door in Flamingo entertainment complex.Written 6 November 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Carol NymanEspoo, Finland1 contributionWe are an International students of Tourism VARIA making a video in ocassion of the World Turism Day. We had a wonderful experience in the exhibition and lovely shop where we could taste the best chocolates in Finland.
Thanks Fazer for the facilities you offered us.Written 5 October 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews. - holodeck6Espoo, Finland27 contributionsSuperb long and wide indoor track!
They have electric cars (which have a boost button), very advanced timing systems & driver profiles.
This is one of my favourite activities especially during vacations. Spent already hundreds of euros here and will spend a lot more! :)
PS. The staff members are really nice and friendly and even gave me highly valuable driving tips when I asked politely.Written 9 April 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

In wintertime you can have a dip in cold water in the frozen lake, which is very refreshing. And of course to go to sauna after (or before) this exotic swim. There is also a cafe where you can have also moderate prized lunch.Written 8 May 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- FimiliaHelsinki, Finland145 contributionsSmall and beautifull museum. We visited at the end of june in the middle of the day. There were only one other group at the same time. We had lot on space and time to proceed at your own pace.
Nice touch were Pride flags all over the museum!
Next time we have to check, if there is guided tour available. Signs were interesting and helpfull, but I think tour would be very interesting.
There were free admission.
The facilities were very clean and the staff friendly.
Upstairs were a cozy play area for small children.Written 29 June 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- RockhillsFinland105 contributionsAkvaariolinna truly exceeds your expectations with it's impeccable service and unending knowledge of all things underwater. Wether it is marine or regular aqarium that needs plants, fish or care products, Akvaariolinna will provide it all. I've never seen so many different fish sold at one place at once!

- Heli PHelsinki, Finland6,316 contributionsSituated next to the Myyrmanni mall in the same building with the library Artsi offers free art for all. The current graffiti exhibition closing soon shows works even in wool made by tufting to create a rug like texture by shooting the thread to canvas with a device. Great murals have been painted on dull apartment blocks around Vantaa in a previous project, as well as at railway stations.Written 21 April 2019This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Mikael FHelsinki, Finland30,539 contributionsAs the name says this mall is large. It is located in Vantaa, south of Ring Road III, in the Vantaanportti business area near Helsinki-Vantaa Airport.
We have visited here and the Flamingo entertainment center connected to Jumbo many times as staying at the nearby hotels. Finally, we have learned how to find everything and what is the easiest way by foot in and out of the shopping center.
You can find here about 120 specialty stores. The largest stores are the hypermarkets K-Citymarket and Prisma and Stockmann. There are also many restaurants and cafes.Written 1 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Called also the Church of Light this modern wood and yellow brick Lutheran place of worship was designed by architect Juha Leiviskä in 1984. Under the trees nearby is a small area with a bench for silent reminiscence.Written 22 March 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
