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.
