Review:
A visit to the Helsinki Zoo (one of the oldest zoos in the world, established in 1889) makes a great change from the hustle and bustle of the city. The zoo is perfectly located on its own island, which is easily accessible from the center of the city by car or bus; in summer you have the added option of taking a scenic ferry ride to the island. You will be able to visit various outdoor habitats that are home to over 150 species of animals and nearly 1,000 species of plants. Visitors can look forward to seeing tigers and other big cats at Cat Valley as well as brown bears and Barbary macaques, among many others species. The zoo is open all year round.
