🙂 This is a post I planned on posting last year! But first I had to get permission from all involved, and then I sort of forgot it. People have been posting things they did before everything changed, and this is definitely one of those things! I don’t think my family will visit any amusement parks this summer. But maybe the summer after that.
Last summer we had an amazing day at Särkänniemi, the amusement park in Tammerfors. We went with our BF-family, and we had so much fun!
First a lunch at a table previously occupied by seagulls. Niklas, our oldest son and I didn’t want to go for any rides, so we took our time eating pizza and walking around while the others had fun on the rides.
We also visited the aquarium and admired all the fish.
I love being at aquariums! It’s so interesting to be able to see all the fish up close.
No idea what kind of fish! A google-eyed fish, for sure!
More fishes, and a lizard (below)
Staring contest! The lizard won!
We took a ride up the elevator to the top of Näsinneula, the huge tower with a view over all of Tammerfors.
We were so high up, I got a bit dizzy!
But it was really fun to stare at all the houses and cars below, looking like doll’s houses and miniature cars.
Somewhere down below the rest of our family stood in line and went for rides.
Look at the shadow of the tower!
Our friends were busy going for rides.
So many rides!
When they were finished we had a fancy dinner at the top of Näsinneula. Or us adults did – the kids got to go for more rides and cheaper food (that was included in their bracelets).
It was such a fun day! Särkänniemi is definitely worth a visit, and with older kids like ours we felt comfortable leaving them to their own devices while we ate at the a la carte-restaurant. A win-win for everyone involved!
