Korkeasaari Zoo

Korkeasaari Zoo occupies an island east of central Helsinki, combining more than 150 animal species with an outdoor setting linked to the Mustikkamaa side of the city.

Korkeasaari Zoo

Why go

The island location gives this zoo a scale and setting unlike a compact city attraction. It is most useful for families and wildlife-focused visitors prepared to devote a substantial part of the day to seeing species from different habitats while moving through an exposed, largely outdoor site.

What to look for

  • More than 150 animal species live at the island zoo.
  • The rocky island setting is part of the visit, not simply the zoo's address.
  • The collection spans mammals and birds as well as reptiles, fish and invertebrates.

Useful to know

  • Allow more time than for a compact city-centre attraction; the zoo spreads across an island.
  • Check the current official opening and access information before visiting, as arrangements can change by season or event.
