For storytellers
Why Linnanmäki Amusement Park matters
Linnanmäki is a family amusement park on a hill just north of the city centre, with a classic wooden roller coaster and rides for all ages. It is run by a children's welfare association, and the profits go to support children's causes. In the evening the park lights up and the views from the hill reach across the city.
Talking points
- Profits support children's welfare organisations.
- A wooden roller coaster is among the rides.
- From the top you get a view over Helsinki.
