Hugo to open Särkänniemi Amusement Park's 50th Anniversary Year on May 1, 2025

Särkänniemi Amusement Park first opened to the public on May Day Eve in 1975. This year, the park celebrates its 50th anniversary, bringing plenty of joy and little surprises to the summer season.

The anniversary year kicks off spectacularly on May 1, 2025, when youth-favorite artist Hugo takes the stage. Admission to the event is available with a Särkänniemi wristband, Rides wristband, Attractions wristband, Amusement Park entrance ticket, Season Card, or Attraction Season Card for that day.

Särkänniemi wristbands and Season Cards are already on sale. Other tickets and wristbands will be available closer to the start of the summer season.

Those Turning 50 This Year Can Enjoy Särkänniemi for Free in May

In celebration of Särkänniemi Amusement Park’s 50th anniversary, we are offering a free Särkänniemi wristband to everyone turning 50 this year during the park’s opening days in May. All individuals born in 1975 can receive a free Särkänniemi wristband by presenting a photo ID (driver’s license, passport, or official ID card) at the Särkänniemi ticket booth on the day of their visit. This benefit is personal, and the wristband will be placed directly on the visitor's wrist at the ticket booth. The offer applies only to new visits, and previously purchased wristbands cannot be refunded.
