What is free in Europe?

I didn’t expect that there could be something for free, especially in Europe, where you have to pay for everyone. But the Finns have a generous soul, so you don’t have to pay, just come and ... At first I reacted to the proposed venture with fear, but since it’s free, then so be it, I thought what a Russian does not like freebies. It is necessary not only to see, but also to try.

I really didn’t think that I would be at the opening of the new season in the largest amusement park throughout Scandinavia - Lynnanmäki in Helsinki. And why? Because usually in the countries of Europe this pleasure is expensive, and I'm afraid of steep turns. But in this park, for me, a terrible coward, there were entertainments.

To begin with, what struck me the most - the entrance to Linnanmäki Park is absolutely free for everyone! It is no coincidence that it serves as a favorite vacation spot for residents of Helsinki, in addition, in the summer, again, you can get to concerts of famous European musicians for free.

In addition, there are 10 free rides that are very popular. Some of them are suitable even for the smallest guests. If you think that since it’s free, it’s not interesting, then it’s very in vain, this is definitely not the case.

But after all, Lynnanmäki is first of all a wonderland, and what are miracles without gifts and surprises (?!). The coupons for games and sweets are constantly being drawn. So you can not only play any game for free, but also win a cool toy or yummy. Naturally, I was not lucky.

The territory of the park is small, but very cozy, because there are areas for parents to relax, which led the children to have fun. After all, not everyone will want to climb with his child along all these slides, someone just wants to read a book.

What struck me to the depths of my soul was the provided escort service: that is, you can bring the child to the park, sit comfortably with a cup of coffee and not worry about the safety of the child, because a reliable person will go with him through all the attractions where the baby will ask. Agree, it’s very convenient?

And it also surprised me that every year new miracles appear here to please the kids. I think that the locals look forward every season, because they know for sure that they will be met by something new, unusual, which is breathtaking. I confess, I did not dare to try one of the new products - Magic (Magia). This is something spinning-spinning very quickly at the same time both clockwise and counterclockwise. How are you? Love the thrill?

Another innovation was liked not only by me alone, but by all fans of popcorn. Indeed, there are no tastes in the Popcorn Factory. I don’t like sweets, but I’m sick of salt all the time - and here there is such expanse that my eyes run wide.

Fans of dizzy bends and adrenaline, this park is for you. Apparently, there are a lot of such people and their joyful cries constantly announce the district. Personally, I’m even afraid to look at it - the Raketti catapult shoots you up suddenly, and then you fall from there.

Or here's another extreme guy - to rise to a height of 73 meters and ... a stone down. They shout everything and very loudly - from below I don’t understand, either from fear or from pleasure. They say that the view from there is amazing.

And you certainly have not seen this! Because Linnunrata eXtra is the first Scandinavian attraction that combines a roller coaster and virtual reality. In the old water tower, you go on an exciting journey through the virtual universe. And who else could have come up with this?

All these dead loops, miracles on bends are certainly not for me. But there are a lot of those who like to fly at a speed of 105 km / h from a height of 52 meters. Honestly, I am amazed at these people. Once I tried it for a long time - counted the seconds when they let me go to the ground.

But in Lynnanmäki Park there is entertainment for everyone - for children of all ages, and for adults, for every taste and color. Therefore, even for me there were interesting attractions.

For example, a bunch of different games with sweet or fluffy prizes. So what, that I’m not lucky, but I like to play something.

Or, I just grabbed onto this blue helicopter, because it reminded me from my childhood: “A wizard suddenly flies in. In a blue helicopter, and shows a movie for free.”

And what a beautiful view of the park and the city opens from the Panorama - by the way, the attraction is free.

After all the nervous shocks, you should definitely have a meal with something satisfying and tasty - so I went straight to the Lintsiburger restaurant.
