Helsinki Zoo

Description:

• A collection of northern European animals, including a herd of wild forest reindeer, wolverines, northern owl species, and many other mammals and birds from Europe and Asia, can be found here. We especially like the way the zoo houses its animals and birds in large natural enclosures -- not prison cells. A tropical house contains plants from southern climes that Finns have never seen before. On-site is a good cafe with a summertime terrace.
