❄️ WINTER WONDERLAND – A TRUE WINTER PLAYGROUND NEAR HELSINKI

Winter Wonderland offers an unforgettable outdoor winter experience just 30 minutes from Helsinki and Porvoo.

At the heart of the park lies a vast natural ice field, frozen over a floodplain. Thanks to the shallow water beneath the ice (only 10–70 cm), the ice forms quickly and remains exceptionally safe and stable. No safety equipment is required on the ice, but our rental shop offers ice picks, helmets, knee pads, and skating poles for those who wish to use them.

We are dealing on natures conditions, which are changing. Updates and opening hour can be find easiest here: https://www.facebook.com/helsinginretkiluistelu/
