Fifty-Year-Olds enjoy Särkänniemi for free in August

By popular demand, the free wristband offer for fifty-year-olds is making a comeback in August. Everyone celebrating their 50th birthday with Särkänniemi this year — that is, those born in 1975 — will receive a free Särkänniemi wristband by showing a photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or identity card) at the Särkänniemi ticket sales counter during the amusement park's opening hours in August. The benefit is personal, and the wristband will be placed on the guest’s wrist at the ticket booth. The offer applies only to new wristbands. Refunds for previously purchased wristbands are not available.

With the Särkänniemi Wristband, you get access to the amusement park, rides, Näsinneula Observation Tower, Aquarium, Planetarium, and Sara Hildén Art Museum on the amusement park's operating days in August. Doghill Fairytale Farm is open until August 17, 2025.

There is a private event on August 13, during which this benefit is not valid.

Ride opening hours

Please note that the opening hours of amusement rides do not always correspond to the opening hours of the amusement park.

July is Circus Month!

Särkänniemi's July is filled with even more joy! The Estraadi stage will feature performances by the Tampere-based Sorin Circus every day throughout July. In addition, clowns from the Community Art School Hehkumahku will roam the area, delighting visitors with their cheerful antics.

Double the joy with the second day wristband!

Did you know that at Särkänniemi you can get a wristband for the next day for just 22 €? You can buy the next day's wristband at the ticket sales points (e.g. the Näsinneula lobby info desk or Tukkifoto) when you're leaving the amusement park. At that time, your old wristband will be exchanged for a new one. Grab an affordable wristband online and upgrade it at the end of your fun day to a wristband for the next day — double the joy!

Särkänniemi and Turva Announce the New Ride for Summer

Särkänniemi's new ride for the summer of 2025 is called Drifti. The rally-themed ride is being branded in collaboration with the insurance company Turva.

This partnership with the Tampere-based Turva also brings back the ride buddy service! Turva-sponsored ride buddies will be available at Särkänniemi from Midsummer until the start of the school year. If your height or courage isn’t enough to ride alone, you can take a Turva ride buddy along with you. Ride buddies can be found across from Pizza Paparazzi, between the String Pull and First Aid Station between June 23rd and August 3rd.

Nysse public transportation is included in Särkänniemi Wristbands purchased for fixed date

The benefit can be obtained with the Särkänniemi Wristband or with the order confirmation received via email on the visit date. Using it is easy: simply scan the QR code of the Wristband or the order confirmation on the ticket reader when entering bus or tram. You can travel between 9 am and midnight for a total of two journeys: to Särkänniemi and back.

The benefit only includes Särkänniemi Wristbands purchased from Särkänniemi's online store. The benefit does not apply to other products such as Amusement Park Ticket, Doghill Ticket, or a product that is called "Särkänniemi Wristband, open date".
