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.

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.

Summer 2025 wristbands at the Creepy Carnival

Särkänniemi wristbands and Rides wristbands can still be used at the Creepy Carnival in October. Some wristbands work as they are, but some wristbands may need to be activated or changed before the visit.

If you have a Särkänniemi wristband that is bought either in Särkänniemi, or bought/received through a trade union, association, Telia etc., the wristband activates automatically for the day when the QR-code is first scanned in Särkänniemi. If you have Särkänniemi wristband, for an open date that is purchased through our online store, the wristband must be activated before your visit. So please contact our customer service when you know the date of your visit.

If you have a Rides wristband or a Särkänniemi wristband tied to a date, you must exchange the wristband at our ticket booths on the day of the visit. If the original purchase price is cheaper than the Carnival wristband (€44), the price difference must be paid. Please be prepared to show the receipt or order confirmation when exchanging the ticket
