From the numerous shops, you can be sure you will find whatever you lack from this hyper shopping area. Also, if you want to be entertained a bit longer, go to the adjoining Flamingo activity center for spa, glow golf, virtual gameroom or restaurants.

We enjoyed our guided tour in this center on 8 Dec 2019. It is located about 25 minutes driving from downtown Helsinki. Quite fun and interesting, especially for kids. We booked our tickets online in advance for English tour. The center has a nice cafe and shop too. The staffs are friendly. You can try as much as sweets/chocolates during the guided tour and will be given a goodie bag when leaving too. All in all, we were glad that we spent 1 hour in the centre. The staff also helped us to book a taxi when we were ready to leave.

Probably one of my favourite experiences to try the real smokey saunas. Both locals and tourists favour this place with its canteen and health facilities, such as electric and traditional wooden fired saunas. After the heat you can dive in the ice cold water in the designated and monitored area just by the lake. Health enthusiast, couples, families... if you are new in Finland, this place is a must visit. The closest real smoky sauna from Helsinki.
