FUN FOR CHILDREN

Children love animals. Besides meeting many familiar creatures at domestic animal farms, they will also fully enjoy many of the same things their parents want to do: board a boat cruise, go on a sightseeing tour, visit the observation tower of Puijo, splash about in a leisure spa, and lots more, whether in winter or summer. The beautiful and peaceful countryside will be appreciated by the whole family. The Kuopio region has a number of delightful and safe nature attractions where you can go on day trips even with small children.

In Hoksopoly Family Play Park the family can have fun together solving different kinds of tasks and puzzles. This unique play park will be opened June 15th in Rauhalahti, Kuopio.
